Facebook CEO “I don’t think you should be a true judge” May 29 at 8:28
Facebook’s Zuckerberg, which runs the world’s largest exchange site, has expressed a reluctance to verify the facts of politicians’ posts, and the response is divided between Twitter and The Associated Press, as The American Twitter Company annotates president Trump’s posts with a fact-checking comment that intensifies the president’s backlash.
In response to President Trump’s Twitter post on Sunday criticizing the way he voted for the presidential election, Twitter commented that it was “unfounded” and urged fact-checking, and President Trump strongly opposed it.
“I don’t think Facebook or internet platform companies should generally be the true judge,” Zuckerberg, Facebook’s top executive, told Us Media on Sunday.
On top of that, Mr. Zuckerberg said, “political statements are one of the most carefully handled in democracy,” and expressed a reluctance to verify factual facts about politicians’ posts.
Dorsey, twitter’s top executive, has indicated that he will continue to examine posts related to the election, and there is a split in the response among social media companies.
