Mark is not having any of Trump’s allegations.
Mark Zuckerberg, Founder of Facebook, has responded to Trump allegations that Facebook is anti-Trump and ‘colluded’ with networks to promote anti-Trump sentiment.
Just a few hours ago, earlier today, Trump tweeted:
Facebook was always anti-Trump.The Networks were always anti-Trump hence,Fake News, @nytimes(apologized) & @WaPo were anti-Trump. Collusion?
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 27, 2017
Mark took Facebook to share his opinion about the platform. He said,
“I want to respond to President Trump’s tweet this morning claiming Facebook has always been against him,” he added,
“Trump says Facebook is against him. Liberals say we helped Trump. Both sides are upset about ideas and content they don’t like. That’s what running a platform for all ideas looks like.”
Mark also talked about how he regrets his statement that the information shared on Facebook affected the outcome of the election.
You can read his full statement here:
Facebook has been in the middle of back to back controversies regarding its role in the US Presidential Election, misleading content being shared on the platform, how its editors are pressing down conservative voices and how the fake news stream is affecting the credibility of the platform. Facebook is taking severe measures to counter these issues with the platform.
