Zuckerberg made the remark under questioning by Sen. Ben Sasse.

The Nebraska Republican began by asking whether Facebook had a specific definition of hate speech it used to identify content warranting removal, particularly in more subjective cases where some argue that particular speech is "psychologically" harmful.

"We see this happen on college campuses across the country; it's dangerous," Sasse said. "40% of Americans under age 35 tell pollsters they think the First Amendment is dangerous, because you might use your freedom to say something that hurts somebody else's feelings."

"Guess what, there are some really passionately held views about the abortion issue on this panel today. Can you imagine a world where you might decide that pro-lifers are prohibited from speaking about their abortion views on your platform?" he asked.

Zuckerberg answered that he "certainly would not want that to be the case."

Playing devil's advocate, Sasse countered that it "might really be unsettling to people who had an abortion to have an open debate about that," echoing a similar justification often made for buffer zones keeping pro-life protesters away from abortion facilities.
