SAN FRANCISCO - Disinformation campaigns helped lead to the assassination of Martin Luther King, the daughter of the U.S. civil rights champion said on Thursday 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 on Thursday in a major speech that twice referenced King, known by his initials MLK.

King’s daughter, Bernice, tweeted that she had heard the speech. “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.

This is lazy, inept tweeting for a prestigious international news organization.

the masses lead lives of quiet desperation. the masses are dacryphilist 😓

Facebook is pure evil

MLK was a womanizer, swindler; enjoyed sex parties and loved prostitutes! 💩💩

Use grammar in your headlines.

Bull crap you skint or something

Who wrote this lead?

Right, Facebook is a very bad organization

Rethink your title.

Headline should read: mlk’s daughter tells Facebook THAT disinformation helped kill civil rights leader. Your welcome

DeleteFacebook

Oh god, what intern wrote this headline?

This headline is very misleading.

This is such a badly worded and structured headline.

It was a club in my understanding. And how is this exactly posing impressions?

ZUCK is a one-trick pony who got lucky. Lacking the brains and maturity to manage the GIGANTIC opportunity he created. Needs a MENTOR with some long-range VISION.

Facebook is cooperate with China and China's puppet leaders to block opppsition's FB accounts by the reason 'Violating Community rules'. Facebook profit not only from the Ads

Hate killed her father. Not disinformation.
