“Political speech is one of the most sensitive parts in a democracy, and people should be able to see what politicians say,” Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg says.

that MSNBC host Joe Scarborough should be investigated for the death of his former staffer.

Although Facebook does use independent fact-checkers who review content on its social networks, the point of the fact-checkers is to "really catch the worst of the worst stuff," Zuckerberg said. Facebook announced in October that it would allow politicians to run ads on the social network, even if they include misinformation.

Zuckerberg is trumps bitch

Then dont sensor any post, give citizens that same respect

Well if you won’t fact check politicians then who will you fact check? Time to close my FB account.

About time

Does he report Putin or Trump?

More should they censor conservatives post .

Can’t stand him

Everything should be fact-checked especially what politicians post, because what they said will affect the country relationship or make the world unsteady, that's no beneift to everyone

Facebook is a joke! It's nothing but misinformation and BS...

Well. He is not being truthful

Yes and No, he do have a responsibility to his Facebook users that what they view on Facebook is not fake but is real according to life historical events and not made up meaning no, alternative news.

Puppets don't think

I quit Facebook years ago because.. they weren't fact-checking... And other things like stupidity.

It would be nice for social network to have fact-checking, but the what about freedom of speech? socialnetwork FreedomOfSpeech ConstitutionalRights

Agreed. They have to be fact checked themselves!

Of course he doesn't! As the old saying goes, never let the truth get in the way of a good story, eh Mark!

Is he insane? of course they should

DeleteFacebook or protest Facebook on the 4th of July. 7/4ADayWithoutFacebook.

Bullshit

There is cure for HSV and HIV,i was suffering frm it untill i met a Herbal Doctor that me within 2 weeks and u migght need his help too on Drizazaherbalcurehomegmail.com or whatsapp +2348103355314

so stop doing it !

Let’s shut down Facebook!! Simple. Delete all Facebook accounts...then what Mark Fuckerberg?

What a sad sad man... no idea about what is morally and ethically appropriate.

Yes. You should.

And THAT is why I’m no longer on Facebook.

Zuckerberg is a part of the current problem as he has helped to fan the flames of hatred, lies and spreading conspiracies. Like Trump - Zuckerberg takes no responsibility and only seeks the $. Shame shame on Zuckerberg.

Jerk!

Well he’s a Trump supporter. What’d you expect!

Then who the hell should?

Love myself off Facebook

I think social media’s should simply not fact check anybody or should they fact check everybody the same way... On the other hand, they should seriously pay attention as to not be used as a channel to violate the law, to harass or plan a terrorist attack.

That's why no one should believe a thing they see on Facebook, or buy anything advertised there.

FACTUAL INFORMATION IS JOURNALISM

Lame...Zuckerberg created a mess with his social propaganda and doesn’t want to take responsibility for cleaning it up.

You fact check what we post afterwards

Maybe not Mark Zucerberg, but if any politician tweets are post Anger divisive false accusations against anyone for their own gain, that’s not right cause they are dividing our Country with false allegations against others. That Mr. Zuckerberg is not right at all.

Really Thats a bunch of bull sh*t. If someone ie current potus doesnt like a button referring to facts, the He Can Leave Twitter... & oh maybe actually give a SH*T about the people in this country!! 😡😡😡😡

Part of the last horrific days are on your head, Mark Zuckerberg.

Another trump maggot 🤮

Politics are no different than normal Americans quit kissing Trump ass

Then he is a part of the problem of the spread of bullshit propaganda and lies that less educated Americans believe just because the president said it. Anyone w/half a brain would know that 95% of what Trump says is false, the other 5% is right just by dumb luck.

BS

Just doesn't want the extra work and expense. Politicians need to be held accountable for spreading lies and dissent. Should actually lose their jobs and benefits for it.

then why are you blocking everyone else’s stuff?

He might change his thinking if Facebook becomes responsible for what users post

Says Mark Zuckerberg safe from his mansion as the cities burn down around him...

He's not much of a thinker...

Are u kidding Me ?

Social media should fact check everything posted, especially paid ads.

Yes you should ... take responsibility

Mark Zuckerbergs wife is from Zuhan, China - responsible for COVID-19

On another subject, can we fact check the Zuckerburg hair cut?

Maybe Facebook should not allow news articles or comments then. I would be good with free photo storage on the damn site.

But they have fact checkers that shut down the accounts of people responding to Racist post. Otherwise accuse the people who respond angrily to post Racist rants and ideals! As far as I’m concerned he supports white supremacy and racism!

Liar. FB continually suspends members for expressing their first amendment views about the fake president.

But you fact check what users post?

Facebook offered me $5.00 dollars off an add, and didn’t give it. Then I ran another one. And in my control panel it says, view your adds. I opened it. All that’s there is a black screen. I can’t even get out of it. I’ll have to completely shut down my system to leave it.

WRONG! They ‘OWE' US Truth! Taxpayers pay their salaries, lifetime benefits, & perks!

Facebook is dangerous! Its a gateway for our foreign enemies to try to destroy the American Democracy

The 'Zuck' and his Facebook have no credibility. It's all about the money and nothing about integrity.

This is a war Zuckerberg. We know where your loyalties lie. U R aligned w/ the party of The Cato Institute, white nationalists, neo‐​Confederates, holocaust deniers,conspiracy peddlers, good old boy, authoritarians, so called libertarians who’s ultimate goals r money and power.

But you still fact check everything else you liar

You’re wrong Mark!! All Trump puts out there is misleading, wrong information!! Twists things to make others look bad!! All politicians should be fact checked!

Facebook is Dead. Will be out of business soon ..

Lies by public officials are different from lies by private people. They can impact the world. The higher the office, the greater the impact. Their lies can incite violence, start wars, and exacerbate pandemics killing hundreds of thousands. Grow a pair, Zuck. DoTheRightThing

Appears he is down on all fours blowing those same politicians.

Agreed. That’s communism.

Dim Mark

What about the resposabily of the social network? All of them could start a war🤷🏻‍♀️!!!!

F*k the Zuck ... he is bought & paid for by tRump

Yes they should be the have to be for truth this is sad

burcham_don Fact checking

Everyone should fact check everything

What's it like to be in Trumps trouser pocket Mark? Facebook fbnewsroom

YET THEY FACT CHECK EVERYTHING REGULAR BLACK POST EVERYDAY 7 THEN BLOCK THEM FOR USING THEIR FIRST AMENDMENT..MARK ZUCKERBERG IS THE BIGGEST HYPOCRITE.

Scum of the earth

I think facebook should fact check itself. Facebook sticks. Mark zuckerberg is all about that Trump money. Theycover for each other. Get rid of the Trump ads they suck. I'll go back when Trump is gone

Ok Mark. Then give me my account back!!!!!

Probably doesn't want to spend the money for the fact checkers. Or... Politicians are pressuring him not to spend money on fact checkers. Or... Politicians never know the real facts about anything they say thus fact checkers are a waist of money. Or... All of the above

Mark XuckerbergDJT Social networks should absolutely fact-check what politicians post. Donald Trump tells so many falsehoods he doesn’t want to be shown up. He uses those falsehoods to rally up his base and put them in a frenzy. He has gotten away with so much. 😢 Sad.

Fact checkers have human error. They all come with a bias. It would be like the phone company editing our conversation. They are either a platform for all or they are an edited publisher.

Fuck Mark Suckerburg

And that is why people are continuing to leave Facebook in hundreds & thousands finkd MarkZuckerberg. You are nothing but a willing fool and tool for Trump. As a CEO of a major social media & news platform it is exactly your job to police all posts by all users. DO YOUR JOB!

Why not

Well Mark this is as much on you as anyone else

Even though he did exactly that with the ProjectLincoln video. Fuck MarkZuckerberg and fuck Facebook.

It would be the end of his fake news proliferation business

people who read it can't !

Delusional and irresponsible zuck zucks.

If one person lies in a Facebook post for his friends to see it is OK. But not on a open media like Twitter for broder benefits. We value twitter more than Facebook ever would be.

What do you think now?! 🙄

Congress you need to regulate Facebook. Facebook should be held responsible for lies, hate speech and election tampering. Americans that are damaged by Facebook’s postings should be able to take legal action against Facebook. CONGRESS ACT

In order to make more money, greedy Zuckerberg doesn’t hesitate to cooperate with CCP. Shameless!

Mark Zuckerberg has no moral

...and it’s OKay to receive payments from paying customers in Rubles!🤔

Zuckerberg is a lost soul only in this for the money nowadays.

Fook him

Fact-checking is very important and should be the responsibility of any social media platform. The purpose is to make sure we’re not deceived and brainwashed with falsehood. Does it mean Zuckerberg is supporting polluting our society with falsehood?

Mark owes rubles to someone.

Mark Zuckerberg is a social pariah. He started a website to rate the appearance of college girls in what used to be a physical booklet of college freshman. He has no real friends. Now, instead of trying to get a girlfriend — 1/

Maybe you should think some more, more deeply, Mark Zuckerberg.

MarkZuckerberg is a racist

Mark you never cared. You stole your friends facebook idea to creep on girls at school. It's time to grow up.

That’s just dumb! Facebook believes a person of power is free to spew lies and incite fear & violence but the average user cannot! Suckerberg is hypocrite!

Yeah they just blur out posts and delete them....and misrepresent

He has zero moral compass; all he sees is green. Such a disappointment. Why is anyone still on Facebook anyway?

In other words. DELETE UR FACEBOOK ACCOUNTS!!!

So if a politician says something libelous or inciting to violence that is okay with the Mighty Z? He has gone from bad to worse and is only interested in the almighty dollar.

You need to keep your opinions to yourself..Trump gave you a big tax break..if your not a liar than people shouldn't have fact check..Trump shouldn't care after all has told the American people over 1,500 lies ENOUGH STOP THE BS

He should be ashamed of supporting disinformation from politicians of either party.

Didn’t he steal the Facebook idea from a colleague?! That says a lot about who MarkZucerkberg is. Bad example to his kids..bad human being

Gotta protect his billions.

The whole foundation of Facebook is based on gossip, untruthful statements people post to pretend their lives are something more than what they are.

Fact Check: Zuckerberg is a Trumper MAGA. Attends the rallies.

Zuckenberg is a JOKE

Especially if it effects his bottom line $$$$$$&$$$$$$$$$$

You should fact check. Lying statements are what fuel hate.

you have so many things to report on and yet you retweet this garbage, it's another cambridge analytica knock it off REPORT news not stoke anger annoyance and side picking, propaganda sucks

No. I think u should. It's the only source if info some people will watch or read.

Who then?

If you let the facts go unchecked then how do we realize the truth. The idea of Facebook WAS fun and nice but has turned into a platform for haters, abusers and scammers.

That is lawyer speak if I ever heard one.

Had a lot of respect for him, he’s part of the problem

Of course he did.

I hope this is not true or we have a dictatorship accomplice here! That is what T try up really wants is Fake News!

Politicians’ post should be fact checked. I want to know the truth. Why is truth and transparency so terrifying? Just be honest!

I heard he molested 12 children

And that’s why I have deleted both FB and Instagram...he’s an idiot only interested in money and power

I can’t wait until they break his company up. CambridgeAnalytica

Then why are YOU still doing it through censorship?

Or ceo’s ...

if they are paying him to spread the lies... he would be out of business!!

A tool for putins comrades. End it.

Of course he doesn’t, he is part of the problem. He is a trump supporter.

Nobody takes him seriously.

ladyinlksd Huh?

You’re entitled to your opinion. Facebook is nothing but a lapdog anyway... 🤗 are you even going to let us know when you start limiting our content based on government mandates, like you do in China

Social media network should be a platform to spread facts and truth for public good, not a platform to spread lies and hatred by politicians. FactCheck Facebook MarkZuckerberg

Yet his attorneys clearly told him to fact check covid 19 propaganda...

WAS MARK’s private meeting with Trump about the strategy for the 2020 election? THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED NOW!

Zuck has taken a side. He's with Trump.

Trump and Putin bought Zuckerberg years ago. He works for them.

Boy bye! You're doing it, eventhough it may not have been to a politician YET

Time to remove my FB account. I know everyone loves their children, grandchildren. It is nice wish people happy Birthday but not these lies for election bullying

Finally someone with a brain. Fact checking for LiarsLeakersAndLiberals = Suppression of Free Speech

Then why did they remove the 'Mourning in America' video by the Lincoln Project?' Facebook and Zuckerberg have been all in for trump, gop, and russia for a long time.

Who cares what a dead guy thinks, Facebook is moving on.

Does any one really care what the scam artist Zuckerberg thinks?

A la what Hitler and the Nazi party posted by Jews. The 6million jews that lost their lives and their families would wish somebody had challenged those misinformation!! The astonishing fact about history is, it always repeats itself.

I don’t think MarkZuckerberg should have the final say on anything! Facebook FactCheck

What? Bruh you cant have it both ways. You schit about Twitter then turn around and say 'wayminut'.

Chicken!

FB Zuckerberg is in Trumps pocket or he would not stand for lying, conspiracy theories he knows is a lie

If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem. If you don't call out obvious untruths, then you are not doing your duty. Social media is a cess pool. Problem is, too much money invested in this medium. Need accountability.

Legit spam as long as they pay ME.

Zuckenberg seems like a guy that got $15 massages with Robert Kraft.

But they refuse to block any dehumanizing remarks like describing Hongkong protesters as cockroaches, nor banning any account which is regularly abusive and this is wrong. Even as Twitter is criticised, I think the former doing a better job.

He is wrong.

With his mindset ignorant people will believe that the earth is flat, the moonwalk didn’t happen & that trump is Gods gift to evangelicals. Facts are facts. Will a car company put that their VW bug goes 300 mph & cost $10 (ten?) Facts are fact & people need yo know the facts

Must be all that paying no taxes!

That's because he supports Donald Trump.

Politicians should be given a platform to lie. Social media must let us know when a lie has be published.

I have a feeling that if someone posted that Mark Zuckerberg was running an underground criminal organization and was under investigation for it, he would not only fact check it, he would remove the post claiming it violated some policy or another. The man is a hypocrite.

We know , you're just in it for the money !

The Star doesn't fact check either. When will the Martian photos show up on Facebook?

hes not human

Facebook flagged this

We don’t care what Zuckerberg thinks, not one damn bit.

Amazing that Facebook started out as a shallow way to rate how people looked and now it’s been commandeered by nation states to wield propaganda and divide countries and Zuck is like 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Asshole.

“Serial Killer Mark Zuckerberg...”

He's all about kissing trump's ass and money.

Zuckyboy is as full of shit as the day is long.

Trump is his boy so of course he feels that way.

Fuck him

Because Mark Zuckerberg makes a lot of money from them

Its impossible for social media to verify every post! However, they can be selective and fact check with their favorite sources!!

In other news, the Astros don’t think someone should get in trouble for stealing signs.

Zuckerberg is wrong!

Because FB makes more money as outrageous and hateful remarks thrive

Does he mean only politicians? They got a history of taking down posts that are shown false. Or will this change when Trump is out of office?

Self expression , if it’s lies, is not self expression..ITs lies..

People say you got rich because you’re so smart. Personally I don’t see it, you don’t seem to have any morals or common sense. You’re a joke! I quit Facebook over a year ago, I consider it a problem that nobody can fix.

One could argue his platforms being utilized to encite riots, and that includes what politicians now proclaim on a platform he created. Understanding education’s not up to Zuckerberg or jack, I feel American entrepreneurs have a duty to keep the peace, and to defend democracy.

Cause he’s a dirtbag himself...

why shouldn't they fact check

I don’t trust someone who looks like a thumb.

But it’s ok to go after the rest of Americans

He lacks a moral compass as well as normal facial expressions.

Facebook is responsible for the propaganda spread around the world- why now take responsibility- the damage done is the destruction of a normal society- we are out of control with a madman in the White House.

And half of them claim they are Christian and lie anyway or cheat on their wives!

So FB is basically the National Enquirer

Of course he said that, he's in Trumps Pocket and he gets so much money from telling lies on his platform

Old news

Yes you should be they spew out lies all the time!

But if you’re a weight loss clinic you can’t show before and after photos on Facebook because its misleading

Don’t accept false advertising.

this man is an evil pos consumed by greed

But, you mentioned anything about race. You will automatically go to Facebook jail.

Sorkin.

That's great... too bad andrewrsorkin doesn't concur

Why does Facebook then keep fact checking my posts

It's clear you don't value truth, Mark. Never have. Never will. Another extreme narcissist who only cares about himself. Good riddance to Facebook. You are partially responsible for destroying this country.

If Facebook and twitter are not arbiters of truth...then they are the purveyors of lies. it’s one way or the other. There is no in between.

Twitter was not being an arbiter, it was just suggesting to fact check before you believe what could be a major disinformation coming from the POTUS. Especially since he is only worried about the mail-in-ballots in the swing states (where he can lose bigly this year)

andrewrsorkin still looking upset over yesterday's dust-up with JOE. Think ALL Americans need fact checking & just logic. Can't blame everyone--people whom believe everything they read need head checked! MOST Americans don't need FB or TWTR telling them what to think!

And he is absolutely right.

Agree, the minute they start managing the content on their sites they should be open to lawsuits for any content and it would be impossible for them to check all content.

Social media should be held responsible like political parties are for a minor member making inflammatory statements, like how a bank is faulted for giving loans to environmentally damaging companies and like how cigarette companies are made responsible for illnesses.

KUDOS TO Twitter! THEY ARE REALLY STOPPING THE LIES THAT HAVE PROVOKED THIS MESS! Facebook IS JUST LOOKING FOR MORE USERS. MONEY, THAT'S ALL THEY CARE ABOUT!

Facebook is the NatEnquirer of social media. Read but do your own research because Facebook promotes misinformation fauxfacebook falsefacebook

Agree not there place.

Zuckerberg is a craven coward. What is his threshold? Fomenting hate? Advocating intimidation? Promoting violence? Does he even have a threshold, or should he happily continue to allow his product to an enabler and amplifier of lies and hate for a profit? He is a coward.

It's a slippery slope if you start to prevent fact checking.

They are arbiters of truth when it suits them... Trump, Elon Musk and Zuckerberg are all one. They're all in the same click...The Freemasons/Illuminati where they are sworn to stick up for each other...no matter what

Mark is wrong on this one.

But it’s ok to “fact check” ordinary people. Sorry double standard.

Then do social networks fact-check non politician remarks ? Politician is not human being and beyond law and order ?

So he wants his platform to become a bullshit generator ?

Yeah sure don't fact check! Who in their right mind actually wants to read true stuff lmao. Can always count on bookface to make grand strides in the world of 'really dude' form of getting the word out. SmH StimulusChecks facebook smartville

I disagree

We dont think you should be making the rules

Facts are the arbiter of truth. Besides, fact checking is the highest form of FREE SPEECH and the biggest determinant of successful decision-making. Why would anyone want to stop that?

He says we don’t want to be the one saying what the truth is yet we will decide what the truth is. Another words if Facebook disagrees we will just shut down speech even if it’s the real truth.

Bot

Hardly surprising that lizardman Zuck can't see the blatant irony staring him straight in the face. FB totally innocent

Facebook wants the money that comes with the media part of the business but not the responsibility. Shameful

Yeah, people trust this Cat with personal information?! Look at him! Sorry, I wouldn't give him the time of day. Creepy?

More stupid people

He really needs to rethink that stupid statement. Who is he trying to impress? Certainly not anyone with a brain.

Damage control

Ummm... thank the Internet gods that Snopes exists

Mark Zuckerberg should put his Hoodie on backward

Yeah of course not. Little fascist.

Facebook is for old ladies

Zuckerburg supports the alt-right so of course he’s against fact checking.

Fact checking is the highest form of FREE SPEECH and the biggest determinant of successful decision-making. Why would anyone want to stop that?

Mark Zuckerberg is just plain awful!

Used to be the USA had laws against propaganda-we knew from WWII the damage - the chaos- the murderous effect propaganda had on society. Now we have Americans gleefully profiting from dangerous propaganda.

Because he's a coward.

Who cares what he thinks? Then don’t fact check on fb. He’s not some genius that should run society. He’s a nerdy douche that capitalized on a good idea and is in charge of that platform.

But they Fact Check citizens. They put a fact check on something that I shared. We really need a Facebook blackout!

Don’t care what he thinks.

Knowing the truth is most important to decision making!!!🇺🇸👀🇺🇸👀

Oh God, are you back again? Zuckerberg, what your really trying to say is that a corrupt leader of a Country (in your case a Président of America) should have free reign on Twitter to misrepresent, lie and decieve the people. What perks is Trump giving you to cover for him? Wimp!

Sex trafficking hub Facebook needs 86ed. Shut it down.

Mark Zuckerberg: I take no responsibility at all. DeleteFacebook

Well zucky sucky!!

Exactly - social media should only be used for its intended purpose: to mine our data, sell it to our adversaries, and install a puppet into the White House who will give trillions away to the Uber-wealthy. DeleteFacebookNOW

twitter Facebook jack dorsey mark zuckerberg VoteBlueToSaveAmerica2020

Stopped using Facebook because, I got tiered of being put in timeout while Russian bots spew Racist Rethuglican propaganda... Biden2020

Cuz Zuckie likes to to lie too !

Here in Brazil the politicians of the Brazilian Government are spreading fakes on Facebook, the participation of the Social Network Facebook Brazil, which owns Instagram and the Whatsapp App, is clear. Facebook has to be held responsible for Mortes in Brazil as it allows lies.

Then at the VERY LEAST, a tall order I know 🙄, politicians should be forced to abide by the same rules of conduct & terms of service as every other user. Social media was touted as the great equalizer, but it’s actually reinforcing the idea that some are more equal than others.

Just proving more and more that he's an uneducated child that shouldn't be in charge of one of the largest global communications platforms.

Welp. I didn't sign on for little Ceaser here to have this much power or weigh in on America. He knows damn well he is helping Trump. By not regulating hate speech evenly and encouraging misinformation, there is only ONE person that will benefit. Tell me who else? I'll wait.

I agree.

I disagree. This is how Russia throws elections. You need to serve the interests of our democracy rather than your need for more money and power.

Yeah but he's wrong, so🤷‍♂️

It’s not their job....They could have had a field day with Adam Schiff and others saying they had evidence in plain sight of Trump Russia collusion...complete lies

But I can’t express myself against r addict who’re people who intentionally come after my race cause they can’t handle truth.

Wow, This is the real Mark Zuckerberg - Puppet of Trump when faced US goverment's threat.

He is saying what someone wants to hear. But again, it’s not a news agency to fact check people post.

Well, they should because people are to easily manipulated by inaccurate memes, “alternative facts” & etc. which effects the way they vote & many other things and that actually has a grave impact on individuals, societies & nations so who really cares what Mark kiss ass thinks?

They shouldn't cuz it's already being molded into a narrative controlling API and guess who was one of the founding fathers of current API in use her signature all over it Nancy Pelosi

But he does think they should be the nipple police? Don’t be a hypocrite Mark!

WINTRELL77 What every user posts you mean.

He’s entitled to his stupid opinion, he doesn’t own these other platforms though so too bad.

He that pays the piper calls the tune!

Yet he is punishing FB users for political posts that do not go with his opinion and says they go against his terms of service...DOUBLE STANDARD at it's best

If someone teeeted Zuckerberg killed an intern, Zuckerberg’s Attorney would immediately issue a cease & desist and demand a public apology from Twitter. That’s called a fact check. Different approach, but same thing.

that's because Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg likes being paid to spread and to allow divisive Propaganda, aspies don't see nor get bad things, all new things are thus good, leaving empathy and good judgement behind

Is it not a law of politics to tell partial truths or worse?

Why not?! He tries to censor the right

Politicians should post responsibly and fact check first themselves

Only the republucabs Why then so many posts about trumP' don't get posted , just because are critical of him.

Of course not...Open a platform - allow people to misinform and outright lie....but owning and running the platform somehow doesn't make him responsible. Dandy.

Zuckerberg banned me twice for saying Americans are stupid and he promotes the pathological lies of our FAKE POTUS. Zuckerberg is EVIL.

quitfakebook

Both Facebook and Twitter were designed to allow the end user to control content. They chose to control content themselves, and that was their mistake. By doing so they invited regulation. Bill Gates created Windows and set usage free. That was smart.

You are happy chef-checking.

DeleteYourFacebook ZuckerbergIsNuts

Abdicating the rights of free speech and private enterprise for a governmental takeover by a sadistic lying psychopath. And for what? Money. Zuckerberg sells out democracy worldwide in a never-ending cash and power grab, because he's a soulless incel with a superiority complex.

That's how you know they should

Smoocher

The facts are the arbiter of truth; if Trump has facts to support his claims, then he should present them. Otherwise, it is just an opinion ('...everyone has one). FactsRule OpinionsRNotFacts

That is because Facebook does not check any facts for anyone.

Hahaha liberalism is a disease. Twitter can control content because it’s their business. But the NFL is bad for not allowing its employees to protest on their stage. This is liberal logic. They love Kap for kneeling and working for a company that profits from exploitation. Haha

But what we post gets rack checked?

Drop Facebook

He’s so far up Trunps ass he can see what he’s having for dinner

Of course not. That's why there's so much bs on Facebook.

The new Facebook. ...and America goes back to being Productive Again!

Ueah. Let them lie like dogs.

Well that will allow a certain orange dictator to run rampent. . . Not like he hadn't been already.

When I re-posted a JOKE MEME Facebook jumped on me.. Trump promoted dangerous ideas OVER & OVER... Zuckeberg is full of shit and paid off.

White cis-het male privilege to the fucking extreme. Mehhh, democracy and freedom is kinda whatevs when I have more money than most entire nations. This fucker needs to have the company regulated, fined, gutted and taken from him. He had his chance to reform, about 50 of them.

Report something else. This is Twitter not Facebook who cares about what he says on FoxNews

What a weasel!!!

He then is very hypocrite by saying this, as recently the ( Face book) deleted one of my recent post, That was Trump's Tweet for memorial day talking about his sacrifices being president. Note was saying; fact check showed that was not Trump's Tweet.

Shouldn't be fact checking anyone. Most of the time it's just biased opinions of fact checkers that become the 'fact'.

Double stand.

So glad i dumped Facebook. toxic wasteland of misinformation and ignorance.

The z man wants those right wing lies out there.

And yet...

Can someone ask him how much he likes sucking realDonaldTrump ‘s 🍆

So Marky boy would be ok if Trump used FB to promote conspiracy theories that the Holocaust never happened?

Trump’s tweets on mail in ballots are an attempt to suppress the vote, so even by Facebooks standards should be fact checked.

Yeah, but we’re not talking about people. We’re talking about the President.

F u, mz

YAWN

Dictators Dictate what people can and cannot say. I got blocked from Facebook first for 3 days then a week because I said something that was repeated on Face Book a Million Times by other members. It was horrible. Mark Zuckerberg needs to practice what he preaches.

Facebook and Zuckerberg need to go.

Shut it Zuckerberg! Telling the truth is never wrong

Shameful- CEOs with no integrity are greatly contributing to the downfall of America

So lie to get elected isnt voter fraud?

WTF?

CarlyleBlkwl18 Facebook’s reason for being is to make Mark Zuckerberg wealthier than many countries.

Facebook has become a place where only the crazy extreme lives. I know so many who have just left.

Yeah that’s why i am no longer on Facebook.

Hes a corporate socialist.

Cancelled

Here’s a fact: life goes on without Facebook.

So they can spew lies 24/7/365?

But if that’s the case someone could put very damaging post about you Zuckerberg and you can’t touch them right? You can’t sue ghosts, and that includes Russian bots helping trump and trump bits smearing Biden like they did to Hillary that u allowed

If Politicians are going to use their ‘Official’ posts to perpetuate lies then they must be called ‘Parody’ posts! Not ‘Official’!

Mark can eat a 🍆

Z wants Russia and the GOP to clutter factual information. Z is all about profit and cares nothing for truth or integrity

He must be sucking the orange D.

So allow politicians to LIE but shut down any non politician for speaking on facts and truth 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️ the wealthy are STUPID

BanFaceBook

If you can’t beat them, join them.

I find it ironic it’s ok not to fact check politician but when I go too far into anti right they do the same to me as twitter. Get suspended for days

He’s right

Villain

Does anyone care what he thinks?

So in other words, he don’t care as long as he’s making ones. What else is new? Smh

he just wants ppl to see his movie

Fuck mark

DeleteFacebookNow

Considering the crap that FB allows, this shouldn't be a surprise!

He's a bootlicker.

Ariasdmn It's because he wants to be President one day, that much is obvious. Another thing that's obvious is how he'll never win.

One of the reasons I quit FB

I don't listen or believe the average clown anyway. Definitely not some keyboard blow hard at some corporate social media site.

Only the general public, right Zuck?

Is Trump moving to Facebook?

That’s why we can’t trust Facebook! Because he allowed people to lied and post false information in it.

MZ is wrong. Somebody has to.

greed

Of course he says that. But by what authority should we care?

Yeah right! Why separate the right from the wrong? The truth from the lie🤦‍♀️

Of course he doesn’t. Two words. Cambridge analytica.

Who cares what he says. Most people believe fact checking is a good thing. No one is saying a person can’t post what they want - just fact check it. He’s become a trump minion. So sad that a revolutionary has become a puppet.

He is afraid of a tweet about him like everyone else

Is anyone else tired of social media users being able to put whatever lies they want on any platform. These people get off on spreading lies and disinformation. You’d think they want democracy around the world to fail.

That's because he has money to make. BoycottFacebook Fakebook

Looks like someone is jealous of Putin? I mean, it sure looks like he is vying to be in competition to be Trump’s BFF ...

Who gives a flying fuck what Mark thinks? I mean, look at that haircut for Christ’s sake! I’m gonna listen to that guy?

Trump is going into a theatre and yelling fire when he goes on Twitter and accuses someone of murder we need to draw a line on unlawful behavior

Zuckerberg is wrong, again. Shocking.

Mark Zuckerberg's platform has had groups that talk about bleaching children to cure autism.

Oh, now all the Bond villains are chiming-in I see.

FoxKat2 They should stop censoring info at all.

Is he like a Russian operative at this point or is he just an idiot

Ditch Facebook. You won’t be sorry. ditchFB

Zuck sucks.

Where's the outrage from all those 'facts over feelings' conservatives? Not even a peep.

CarlyleBlkwl18 DeleteFacebook DeleteInstagram

What a kiss up.

Of course. He doesn't want an effect on his bank account. Zuckerberg should take more accountability for the misleading and completely false information he allows on his platforms.

Why not?

Zuckerberg helped the screwup in chief get elected and then said whoops.🤑

Time to end Facebook

Been out of FB for a while now, It sucks, really, it’s nothing but selfies and food bragging 😂

Facebook supports lies. Lies and conspiracy are major ad revenue for Facebook. So, for Zuckerberg, it's all about making money. Truth and honesty have no place in the pursuit of profit.

Zuckerberg is a horrible man.

This just isn't a coherent position on MZ's part. Facebook has done a good job of fighting misinformation on COVID19 -- directing people to trusted information sources, knocking down rumors, etc -- there's absolutely no reason this same standard shouldn't apply to elections.

The new Goebbels.

So in his mind lies are sacred.

A growing number of people think that social media companies need much more oversight than they do right now. Magnifying hate unbalances any valid discussions that might occur. A statement should have an asterisk for checking. A lie that can be fact-checked, should be annotated.

I agree in principle but given our world I believe this is a necessity Facebook

Now we truly know what side he is on

He's a puppet. HE'S A PUPPET!!

We the people, are tired of selective censoring...

Then he supports campaigns of misinformation that influence elections. Nothing's that simple.

Seems like he is suddenly scared because what he says and what he’s been doing aren’t fully in alignment

So politicians, or to be more specific, Trump, can lie like a dog, but Zuckerberg doesn't want to fact-check him. But average people can put up historical photos, state historical facts, etc, and Facebook will swoop in on them like vultures. Facebook Zuckerberg is full of sh*t.

No social media needs to be doing anything to a person's post. What we say should be no fucking concern to you. Your job is to keep the servers up and that is it. No filtering, blocking, altering. I don't give two fucks how you 'feel' about something said.

He's afraid of POTUS.

Omg this guy is a fence sitter.

Why there are to many stupid people who do not have a clue to not be

CarlyleBlkwl18 Face Book had no problem fact checking something I shared.

Yet Mark Facebook is blocking ProjectLincoln and allowing russian bots to run wild on his platform.

Honesty is the best policy but fact checking and exposing a lie is second best policy.

Enabling fool.

Agree - except when the PRESIDENT is flat out lying -the moral compass of the US has changed - it’s frightening what is deemed acceptable in 2020

Obviously he made some kind of deal with Trump during their private meeting!

If course he doesn’t he now in Trumpies pockets

Aside from the 2016 analytica crap, this has a fact-check on it. FB is in bed with trump.

They are censoring truth and that includes FB! It is shameful, Zuckerberg needs to grow up. He has too much money for his own good!

This little boy is very annoying.

Let's get a war of words going between Zuck and Jack Dorsey. Should be fun.

Well he is part of the problem!

The definition of a true mf

Trump isn't a politician; suspend his shit

Mark Zuckerberg doesn't want anything that might diminish his personal income stream. Mark Zuckerberg is a threat to democracy. Don't be like Mark Zuckerberg.

In other words, take the money and run without checking if info charged-for is accurate and NOT dangerous. That's how one becomes a gazzllionaire like Zucky.

Suckass

archangel2 or anyone else for that matter!!!!!!!!!!!!

But fast checking every body else is ok....🤔

Making him part of the problem.

Probably not fact check for anyone even politicians however it is up to people to check on their own especially politicians as they are known to not present the real truth

Wrong! Got us the wrong president in the first place. Wrong! Protect the integrity of your business. This isn’t The Wild West.

Thanks for once again validating my decision to leave FB 2 years ago.

If they’re lying Who’s he in bed with.

Facebook can better stop their business. These kind of social platforms must not be allowed to spread lies, call for racism and promote disinformation for e.g. political purposes. If not, the EUCouncil eucopresident vonderleyen could take action. Zuckerberg be warned. 🌷

It's irresponsible to not at least add an 'editor's note' when blatantly false or questionable claims are publicly shared. Zuckerberg prefers to ignore the obligations these platforms have to the public they purportedly serve.

We already knew Zuckerberg had no societal integrity when he said FB would not stop accepting blatant lies in advertising. It’s why half the country is at literal war with each other, because FB allows these conspiracy theories to promulgate unchecked

pussy

BoycottFacebook

Because zuck makes money off of lies. Facebook takes money for political ads without a shred of truth. TwitterFactCheck is a good thing!! Thank you jack

Lets face it, if large corporations like Facebook get to decide what 'truth' is the left will be the first to be censored.

Guidoune !

If there is a reason to cheat people will find it whether its money hewth benefits or elections.We have been brought uo to out our own interests ahead of others see only one side our side of most issues. ID checks must be part of any election system and now we should think online

Well that’s not breaking news.

Facebook is complicit in the spread of conspiracies! Dangerous! FactCheck

Here in Brazil the politicians of the Brazilian Government are spreading fakes on Facebook, the participation of the Social Network Facebook Brazil, which owns Instagram and the Whatsapp App, is clear. Facebook has to be held responsible for Mortes in Brazil as it allows lies.

AHole 🇺🇸

There was a time where Americans stood up for what's right. Allowing blatant lies to be posted has rotted American culture to its core. Honesty and truth are gone. Reality is based on the number of likes a social media post garners.

And just like that Facebook will become a Conservative platform, while IG and Twitter will be a Liberal one.

Wrong

And he said it on fox ‘news’.....

Zuckerberg is a boot licker

Ordinarily not their job but using social media to distort reality influencing decisions based on lies ...morally it is the right thing to do:his suggestions and advice may harm-he must be stopped

Zuckerberg is a spineless coward with not a shred of moral integrity. He is effectively prepared to aid and abet the distribution of defamatory, harmful lying propoganda which could insight violence and riots and consequential deaths. He is thoroughly disgusting and irresponsible

Now is a good time for somebody to make a lot of money 💰 by creating a better Facebook.

And where is Ms. Lean-In-long-time Dem & Hillary Clinton-supporter in all this? Ms. Sanders has been conspicuously quiet. I guess when it comes right down to it, for her & the rest of the so-called “idealistic” FB crowd, the color of green will always outweigh the color of blue.

This is why I gave up Facebook. It’s dangerous.

Fact...The FACTcheckers are being Fact-checked by the FCC as not being Neutral Platform as they PROMISED to be in CONGRESSIONAL HEARINGS to not CENSURE or Suppress Opposing Views or Freedom of Speech !!!

If Zuckerberg were to fact check Trumpov, there would be no Trumpov posts on FB, because IT'S ALL LIES!

If they wouldn't make idiotic claims they wouldn't need to be fact checked.. FIFY Mark

That be a impeached trump supporter! Mark loves trump and supports Russia 🇷🇺 meddling in election. Or any entity that's discredit Biden. Hypocrite! markzucerberg

Facebook Mark Zuckerberg is a Kapo

He would have allowed Hitler to post whatever he wanted!

Zuckerberg is an asshole

He sold out for 💰long ago

And fact checking costs money, so for dollars and cents FB is happy to provide fraudsters access to the general public unchecked. Regulations like those imposed on network TV should apply otherwise it might as well be 'pornhub for Wisconsin farm animals'.

So instead of calling them 'social media' networks, we should call them what they really are: propaganda farms.

The original tweet is still there, so screaming ‘censorship’ is a bit of a reach. I say fact-check both parties...if you’re not lyin’ you’ve got nothing to worry about.

Thats cause Zuckerberg is a lizardman

Dump trumpbook

Mark don’t cave in I would be happy to support you with a little money lots of prayers and plenty of moral support we can do this......

SusanPoe7 That’s exactly why I do not use or participate in Facebook!

How about when politicians spread bizarre conspiracy theories in an attempt to smear and slander other people?

Politicians? What about the rest of society? You think that concession gets you off the hook?

Maybe of we elected better people for office? Let’s try that.

For years he has said that his platform can't be held to broadcast and journalism standards. Now he wants it the other way. Political advertising is protected by law but Facebook, per Zuckerberg, is not a publisher. So which is it Mark?

Onger..

Facebook has stated plainly that they don't want to fact check political speech because it would disproportionately impact conservatives.

hurry up people, trump has a new friend and a new source of spewing his lies !!

Facebook was censoring like every other social media provider. Nobody needs Facebook!

Zuckerberg is a Traitor and probably gets paid in rubles too.

Who knew mark was this woke

Idiot! Trumpeter Anarchist!

Squeaky wheels get the oil, but if the oil does not work, the wheel eventually gets replaced.

In that case, They should be civilly liable for the damages caused by the posts they spread.

All he cares is how much money they are making.

I’ve heard of people being banned by Facebook for their political views.

Freed myself from Facebook 1.5 years ago. Life is good!

Either they fact check every post or none at alll.

People should receive a dividend for their data.

So tired of the moral vacuum that is Mark Zuckerberg.

Please get real. Don’t insult America’s intelligence further.

Mark Z isn’t a politician and has no background on politics he should Focus just on Facebook and leave politics out of this

I really don’t care what Zuckerberg’s opinions are.

Lol okay

Mark is exactly correct 👍

His logic escapes me ! He is being irresponsible.

he might have a point

Twitter lets you see what they say and gives references to where you might find facts. I'm not sure that CNN or Fox News should be used as fact checks though. You can't say one lies and the other doesn't. You become political then and stop being a platform.

Wrong... wrong...wrong.

Really ... zuckerburg sucking up to trump!!!

How much did Zuckerberg donate to the trump campaign. DeleteFacebook

Creating separation from the infamous Twitter ..

😊🤝🏻

This statement goes to show how deceitful and irresponsible he is.

$FB $GOOG $TWTR The FACTcheckers are being Fact-checked by the FCC as not being Neutral Platform as they they PROMISED to be in CONGRESSIONAL HEARING to not CENSURE or Suppress Opposing Views or Freedom of Speech !!!

He is a trump supporter and complicit in the cult management so what else one expects?

This guy will do anything to protect his brand . trump has suckerberg berg on his knees ready to suck

That’s why Americans are brainwashed.

Exactly. That's like saying it's Microsoft Word's job to proofread our work.

“ I’m taking scads I’d trump and Russian money”

All Trump says is 1+1=3 al day long, and you're perfectly OK with that? Do you know what 'I love the uneducated' means? It means 'the gullible are easily manipulated. FB *facilitates* and *enables* that manipulation. You are The Boss' Tool.

Says the data rogue

Why are politicians different than ordinary citizens? Why two sets of rules?

He's trying to argue that people should do their own research and they'll somehow see the politicians for what they really are. What he doesn't understand is that people aren't going to do that. Sadly they prefer info spoon fed to them.

Facebook allowed terrible people with terrible ideas find other terrible people with terrible ideas more easily and readily and Mark Zuckerberg doesn't think that's a bad thing because he has enough money to shield from the consequences of the thing he created.

But they can see what they say. Followed by a fact check. And that's a problem because...? Ah: advertising. Got it.

How to avoid it?! That is the question. I mean political speechs or opinions are automatically detected. A simple advanced search as the 'graphic search' that u once made it available then changed mind, is capable to restore data and share it w/ whom it may concerns!!

WTAF is HE talking about?! We DID SEE what was written. In its ENTIRETY. NO ONE was censored. There was a LINK ADDED at the BOTTOM of the Tweet. (EXCELLENT addition). People could click it on, IF they CHOSE to do so, or NOT. Move along. NOTHING LEGITIMATE to SEE/DISPUTE here.

They can see it. Who said they cant?

Some should shut him up.. He's a puppet

Does Zuck still accept rubles for Russian disinformation ads? 100,000 dead Americans b/c Facebook helped elect Trump in 2016 thanks to Russia Never forget that Trump golfed & campaigned for 6 weeks after Navarro's memo & Trump sit down with Joe Kernen

Facebook shouldn't be banning people for freedom of speech

BREAKING: Mark Zuckerberg is a piece of 💩.

The key words here are 'political speech'. I'm guessing that's going to be the news today, that Twitter is only flagging Trump's tweets, or political speech they don't like, which means they can probably be regulated as they are no longer just a platform.

People can still see what they say if the statements are fact checked.............. they just know whose lying and whose not ... cambridgeanalytica realDonaldTrump this is an absolutely trash spin zone

Shut the f up zukencrackberg you lied and gave away personal information about millions of people and now you want us to forget!! finkd

Yeah, but he deletes accounts for not liking what the people say. He is a 2 faced idiot!

Hmmm..

Facebook is not a friend of democracy. Zuckerberg will go down in history as a trader to America.

Too late Mark, your buddy Jack just wrote your industry’s epitaph yesterday. No more ISP protection. No more government protection from libel and copyright lawsuits. Get ready for a rough week in the market.

A-hole

Breaking: Mark Zuckerberg found dead in his home covered in ketamine and ketchup. Don’t fact check this post, please.

And in his next breath says he makes medical and scientific judgments on whether to delete a post. Of course, Silicon Valley is the hub of all scientific knowledge.

Suckerberg

~♥️~ SUPERRight! ComparativeAnalysis OffersChoice!

Homeboy is scared.

And they can with a little button on the side that reads “Fact check this tweet”. People have the right to information. And a right to protect themselves from misinformation.

But it's slanderous drivel

What else would the man running the biggest propaganda machine in history say? Zuckerberg is not fit to be running a large corporation. FB needs to be reengineered. Into oblivion.

But they are seeing it. They are just being told whether they are lying

If we taught critical thinking skills in public schools, people would have the tools to do this. Unfortunately they don't.

Haircut Zuck Jeeze! Sorkin and Zuck equals Baffoonery

Before you ignorantly comment - watch his interview - you'll be surprised there is more there that what your agenda-filled cable host or political rag tells you to believe. $FB

“See what they say” is Zuck code for “My entire platform is reliant on bulls**t”.

We can still see what they say-just call out the facts. What’s the issue?

In other words, Mr. Zuckerberg doesn't care what is happening to this country as long as his stock price isn't effected.

Not censorship but annotation.

Wait what?

But we can see it traitor Mark.

Does anyone have a puppet meme for Zuckerburg?

He’s wrong

EXACTLY. $FB
