Facebook will start to add a label to all “newsworthy” content such as statements from politicians that would otherwise violate the company’s policies, CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced Friday.

Zuckerberg said in a lengthy announcement that Facebook sometimes leaves up content that would otherwise violate its policy “if the public interest value outweighs the risk of harm,” because it is deemed newsworthy.
