Zuckerberg: 'Facebook shouldn't be the arbiter of truth of everything that people say online'
The Hill ^ | 05 27 2020 | Rebecca Klar

Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Wednesday doubled down on his defense of the platform not labeling misinformation shared by politicians after Twitter placed warnings on two posts from President Trump it deemed “misleading.”

Asked by Fox News’ Dana Perino if he thought Twitter “made the wrong decision,” Zuckerberg said his platform has “a different policy than Twitter on this.”

“I just believe strongly that Facebook shouldn’t be the arbiter of truth of everything that people say online,” Zuckerberg said in the interview on Fox's "The Daily Briefing." “I think in general private companies probably shouldn't be — especially these platform companies — shouldn’t be in the position of doing that.”

The rest of Zuckerberg's interview is scheduled to air Thursday.

Twitter placed warnings on two of Trump’s tweets for the first time Tuesday. The warnings were placed on posts the president made making unsubstantiated claims that California’s mail-in voting was full of fraud.

A spokesperson for Twitter told The Hill the president’s tweets “contain potentially misleading information about voting processes and have been labeled to provide additional context around mail-in ballots.”

In political campaigns while the use of Social Electronic Formats are useful in presenting political positions. Relying solely on using those venues is a mistake because of their SEF content limitations and media bias .

Consideration of the use of reprinted material including handouts and flyers such as of articles in FR and the planning of area saturation distribution known as “blitzing” in the targeted area is essential of one wants to win.

Facebook is FAKEbook. Liberals share fake news stories on FAKEbook about Trump and all the conservatives...and conservatives share fake news stories on FAKEbook about Obama, Pelosi, and pretty much every liberal.

Fakebook exists to allow people to lie to each other.

....’potentially’ misleading information?....

So they’re labeling tweets based on possibilities, no facts.

..."There is a conservative Twitter it is called Parlor ..."

....... Parlor is a Social Media Site .... What I am talking about is an actual Fact Checking Site .... A Conservative "Snopes" type of site that is a solid factually based ... “Go To” .... site that we can quote with confidence to counter all of the Liberal Vomit and Spin that is out there.
