Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has dismissed comments made by Donald Trump that the site has always been against him. The US president accused the social network of "collusion" on Twitter, branding it "anti-Trump". He made the same claim against the New York Times and the Washington Post. Facebook will shortly hand over 3,000 political adverts to congressional investigators probing alleged Russian meddling in the US election. The site believes the ads were probably purchased by Russian entities during and after the 2016 presidential contest. Facebook, Twitter and Google have been asked to testify before the US Senate Intelligence Committee on 1 November about the allegations of Russian interference. Facebook and Google have confirmed they have received invitations to attend the committee hearing, but none of the social media giants have yet said they will be present.
Mark Zuckerberg has made it clear in the past that he doesn't like Donald Trump - or at least, his policies. This statement shows frustration, I think. Not just with the president, but at the atmosphere swirling around Facebook at the moment - commentary that is painting it as a burden on the electoral process, and maybe even on society as a whole. He's trying to show all the good - as he sees it - that Facebook has done. He feels hard done by. And as a man obsessed by data and metrics, he's probably looking at the problem of Russian-backed fake news ads and seeing it as a minuscule part of all the election goings-on on his network of 2 billion people. But it's not the scale that's the issue here - but his immature refusal to face up to the public's concerns. It was less cover up, more cant-be-bothered.

Does Zuckerberg understand English? His posse of biased fat feminist sensors with purple hair is a fact, and pointing that fact does not indicate an opposition to varied viewpoints and free speech
Abandon Fecebook
The wealth you provide Zuckerberg is used against you.
Thats what I am ‘talking’ about.
We can label him ‘The lone wolf’ standing tall in a sea of malcontents.
He may become as popular as ‘face palm guy’, beer guy etc etc etc
Alright!
I am beyond "banned" on FB. I am in FB limbo, that is, I have a FB page but I can't even log on to cancel. All they want is a govt-issued photo ID to begin to redeem myself. Not kidding!
Fb wants your photo ID ? Go tell those fascist pigs to screw.
I would but I can't log on and I don't they have an email address.
Never joined Facebook, never will.
Zuckerberg and I don’t see eye to eye on anything. No sense giving him money or my time.
FB accuses honest media of being unfair to Hillary, while they are incessantly manipulating everything they can to help her. They finally unblocked wikileaks after they realized that blocking it made people want to see it even more.

WOW - interestng ding dong..
from link:
Facebook admitted Sunday that it had blocked links to the Wikileaks trove of emails hacked from the Democratic National Committee.
In a Twitter post late Saturday, WikiLeaks accused the social media giant of censorship and gave its followers an online workaround, saying try using https://archive.is.;
The WikiLeaks allegation followed a firestorm of controversy that erupted earlier this year when former Facebook workers admitted routinely suppressing conservative news.
