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. During and after the election, Zuckerberg downplayed those concerns even when they came from President Barack Obama.

I believe that after the election the left elites here and internationally (linked) discovered it wasn't enough to control the Main Stream Media.........Trump bypassed them and went right to the people via twitter and other venues people gather at and for.....
Now they know they have to also control social media....and I saw the changes happening as easy access to certain photos or names, articles were vanishing or leftist stuff was always popping up first...I'd often have to 'dig' to find what I was looking for because they were removing or replacing it with leftist info.....so they are 'tinkering' with these social media's..... no question about it!
Let's Remember Germany's Merkel wanted all "negative" photos and articles on the Muslim refuges removed and or sensored and she asked Mark to do something about it on the media he controls....You will not find news stories in Germany about the refugees still coming in there unless they are favorable to her agenda.
....."German Chancellor Angela Merkel has received assurances from Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg that the company will combat racist comments on the Internet. They met on the sidelines of a UN development summit.".....
....In comments heard over an inadvertently live microphone on the United Nations live stream at a global summit in New York, Merkel asked whether Zuckerberg intended to improve the situation, to which he answered: "Yes."

Ah gotcha :)
Bill Gates “ created” Windows right after he worked with Jobs on the Mac Icon and menu point and click platform developping Word. He also had his daddy lawyer twist IBM’s arms to make DOS the sole Operating System for IBM PC. He also tried to do that when he took over Netscape for turning PC’s Explorer as the only platform and web page compatible conduit to the internet.
Apple got the idea of icons for macs from Xerox Park
Zuckerberg did outright open the Facebook company using a software created by twins without their authorization. They later settled but still hold a grudge and calling Zuckerberg a crook and thief
Xerox and Woz.
Zuckerberg strikes me as a very creepy guy. He makes my skin crawl. Anyone else think the same way.
Lier Lier pants on fire.
He’s a prevert
Fb is dead. The younger gen is not using it. It is a website desperately searching for relevancy.
I knew it...LadyJane is correct.....
Zuckerberg and other social media folks have been recruited by the Globalists..(because they are also Globalists and part of the elites for World Governance)......
Trump knows we cannot take on this Global Network Movement of theirs entirely on our own....but he can focus ‘our’ attention to ‘our country’ to protect it from their grasping it fully and protect us citizens here.
This is why his focus is on trade, immigration, tax’s and and bringing business back here....why he pulled out of climate change and trade.......they’re all interrelated and linked to the Globalist Agenda.... He’s breaking up that stranglehold....and wants America’s power back before we loose it to the Globalist.
Furthermore....Rumor Mark likely to run for political office....where they put him is open currently but he’s very much involved in seeing Progressives and Globalist take over. Same with Bill Gates and others in the tech field.
Many People just don’t grasp the force that is against Trump and out to destroy him and his family...they just don’t. Nor do they understand the movement that put Trump in office is the same movement that caused the Brexit.....people of the West said ENOUGH!
Cameron and his brother are known for co-founding HarvardConnection (later renamed ConnectU) along with Harvard classmate Divya Narendra. In 2004, the Winklevoss brothers sued Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg for $65 million, claiming he stole their ConnectU idea to create the popular social networking site Facebook.

....”Zuckerberg strikes me as a very creepy guy”.....
That’s because he is..one with lots of money and power currently. Politicians on both sides of the world are ‘friends’ because they recognize the power his media has. Not because he’s such a wonderful person....in fact that’s how they see each other......their ‘game’ is brutal and deadly so don’t ever let these dinner parties etc. fool you.....there’s cut throating going on...and or deals and leverage happening. Alliances can change on a dime so they’re always looking over their backs.
No it’s not....however there are “others’ popping up they try for a time..most are run and operated by the same people or linked to one another....the idea is to get enough followers to get a good offer to be bought out..Zuckerberg known to scoop the up ,change the name and move forward.
How accurate it is I don’t know but the movie The Social Network (2010) is an account of the start of Facebook and it covers this. I thought it wasn’t too bad a movie.
I feel the same way!
On two occasions when a live Trump facebook feed appeared, I punched up a stream of “like” icons to dance across the live speeches. At some point, the bar of icons quickly slid some frowny face icons over to the point on the screen where the like icons were being pressed.
Yep. Xerox developed the `live screen’ or mousing the arrow to what you want to see and clicking.
Of course it has.
Interesting! I didn’t know that. I did know that there was some reason I didn’t like Zuckerberg.
