Supervisors in San Francisco will vote on a nonbinding and symbolic resolution to condemn the naming of the city's public general hospital for Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg in 2015 after he and his wife, Dr. Priscilla Chan, donated $75 million for a new trauma center. Supporters of a condemnation say the Facebook co-founder and CEO has endangered public health and threatened democracy with a platform that spreads misinformation and invaded people's privacy.
