Mark Zuckerberg said that the giant social network was innovated to give all people a voice and create a platform for all ideas. The Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg wrote in a Facebook post. “Donald Trump says Facebook is against him. Liberals say we assisted Trump. Both sides are not happy about ideas and content they don’t like. That’s what running a platform for all ideas looks like.”
Trump’s Twitter attack came as the giant social network faces intensifying examination for Russia-linked advertisements designed to help Trump’s candidacy.
Trump communicated by tweet that “Facebook was always anti-Trump hence, Fake News, @nytimes(apologized) & @WaPo were anti-Trump. Collusion?”
Last week Zuckerberg said his Silicon Valley company would hand over the Russian ads to congressional investigators. Special counsel Robert Mueller and Congress are investigating the Kremlin’s role in the presidential election. Trump has called reports of Russian election meddling a “hoax.”
Trump used Facebook to rally support for his campaign, but company executives including Zuckerberg have been sharp critics of the White House’s policies, such as the decision to put an end to Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, an immigration program that protects children who were brought to the U.S. illegally from being deported.
