Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg responded to accusations from President Trump that the social network has always been "anti-Trump," defending the company he founded while acknowledging that he shouldn't have shaken off concerns about Facebook's influence.

Trump said on Twitter Wednesday that Facebook and news media — including The Washington Post — had always been opposed to him. Zuckerberg said that the fact that Facebook fields criticism from Trump as well as liberals shows it's a "a platform for all ideas."

Many people raised concerns with Facebook about the impact that its platform played in spreading false information — concerns apparently bolstered by recent revelations that Russian operatives used Facebook advertisements to influence American voters.

The guy lied and stole face-book from the group that developed it. He is evil.

Zuckerberg looks like such a little boy.

Laughable that he thinks he could possibly be President.

Note, the election eve (2000) release of George W Bush’s decades old DWI arrest cost him the so-called “popular vote”.

I had never heard that story. Of course, Bill Gates stole Microsoft from someone also. And I’m not sure who Steve Jobs stole Apple from?

And BTW, I can’t stand Zuckerburg. He’s a commie puke, so I’m not trying to defend him.

Before I read the article, I'm going to guess that Zuckerberg's response is:

NUH UH! NUH UH! SERIOUSLY YOU GUYS! NUH UH!"

face-book was developed by some Harvard students. It spread from Harvard to other colleges. Zuckerberg stole it. They tried to sue him but by that time he was a millionaire with deep pockets so he beat down his former friends.

There is a Facebook news feed of recommended stories. They are always anti Trump if Trump is part of the story. They are always anti normal Americans.
