Zuckerberg argued Facebook should give voice to minority views and not factcheck political advertisements. SAN FRANCISCO: Disinformation campaigns helped lead to the assassination of Martin Luther King, the daughter of the US civil rights champion said yesterday after the head of Facebook said social media should not factcheck political advertisements.

The comments come as Facebook Inc is under fire for its approach to political advertisements and speech, which Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg defended yesterday in a major speech that twice referenced King, known by his initials MLK.“I’d like to help Facebook better understand the challenges #MLK faced from disinformation campaigns launched by politicians. These campaigns created an atmosphere for his assassination,” she wrote from the handle @BerniceKing.
