quote:

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has called out Twitter for attaching a fact check to a tweet from President Trump, telling Fox News' Dana Perino that privately-owned digital platforms should not act as the "arbiter of truth."


quote:

"We have a different policy than, I think, Twitter on this," Zuckerberg told "The Daily Briefing" in an interview scheduled to air in full on Thursday.

"I just believe strongly that Facebook shouldn't be the arbiter of truth of everything that people say online," he added. "Private companies probably shouldn't be, especially these platform companies, shouldn't be in the position of doing that."



quote:

Zuckerberg made the comment after President Trump warned social media giants that the federal government could “strongly regulate” or “close them down” if they continue to “silence conservative voices.”

That's why Facebook is outsourcing its moderation to a leftist activist board for all content decisions.

Hes right and people should stop demanding they be. The problem is the usual Twitter mob kicks and stomps for justice.

I am absolutely fine with twitter censoring blatantly false, defamatory tweets such as trump accusing JS of murder, people tweeting the steele dossier, or deliberate misquotes that make people look bad.

What I am NOT ok with is twitter meddling when people say things like "mail in ballots will increase fraud", or "taxes on the rich won't hurt economy".

These are political opinions.

Sorry Zucky, you'll be named in Trump's EO tomorrow too. Too late to go sucking up now.

He is indeed right in what he says here. But his own actions at FB prove his every word is nothing more than BS.

It is and it's hilarious to see. But even Facebook/Zuckerberg isn't dumb enough to go as far as what Twitter just did to the freaking President of the United States. Zuck knows twitter might have just fricked it up for the rest of them.

Wtf? Facebook actually covers posts they don’t like and you have to click to see why and there’s always a fact check link. They’re worse than twitter. Twitter only matters more because no one gives a frick about Facebook anymore.
