Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has a message for his billion-plus users: "you're not capable of deciding for yourself what is 'news' and what is not, so we will do it for you."
Facebook has been widely blamed - by the left-leaning mainstream media - for allowing the spread of online misinformation, amusingly much of it pro-Trump, but Zuckerberg has rejected the notion that Facebook influenced the outcome of the election or that fake news is a major problem on the service.
"Of all the content on Facebook, more than 99 percent of what people see is authentic," he wrote in a blog post on Saturday.
"Only a very small amount is fake news and hoaxes."
Which is why we found it odd that since such "a very small amount" of Facebook is "fake", why the left-leaning CEO would draft up his 7-point plan for eradicating "misinformation" from the social network (via Facebook)...
A lot of you have asked what we're doing about misinformation, so I wanted to give an update.
The bottom line is: we take misinformation seriously. Our goal is to connect people with the stories they find most meaningful, and we know people want accurate information. We've been working on this problem for a long time and we take this responsibility seriously. We've made significant progress, but there is more work to be done.

‘Misinformation’ of course, is anything that disagrees with Mark Zuckerberg’s point of view. Because, money.
...because you’re just too stupid to know what’s real and what isn’t...
I have a family member that has this attitude. I they don’t happen upon something, it’s not true.

You mean he’s gonna accurately report on the number of hits on ads on fakebook??
Basically boils down to “How can we censor conservative news without it being called censorship.”
How do I know Mark Zuckerberg actually said these things? Or for that matter, that there actually is a person named Mark Zuckerberg?
I take it we won’t have to see anything from Rolling Stone in the future? How about all those news organizations that said Hillary would win?
Him and Soros must be related.
I have a one point plan Mark Z.
Stay out of it.
The Left is the real problem anyway.
Do you realize that if the Left got it’s way, the public would own your forum and you wouldn’t get a dime for it?
Wake up!
Oh, Skippy, just go away.
Well, Mark, you’ll be happy to know that I do not use facebook and never will.
You have no power over me.
Zuckerberg's set himself up. Somebody's got to send him into retirement.

I refuse to use the communist censoring facebook. Their rules don’t matter to me. It must matter to snowflakes.
Eliminate:
1. NBC News
2. ABC News
3. CBS News
4. CNN
5. MSNBC
6. The New York Times
7. The Washington Post
Because he knows more than you do.

Or maybe he’ll come clean on how many of his billion user pages are pets and imposters. You can buy thousands of likes on fiverr for $5. They can’t be real.
