Zuckerberg knocks Twitter for fact-checking Trump, says private companies shouldn't be 'the arbiter of truth'
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg weighs in on President Trump’s public spat with Twitter over its fact-checking policy during an interview airing Thursday on Fox News Channel’s “The Daily Briefing.”
Trump’s longstanding dispute with Twitter was reignited Wednesday after the president claimed that use of mail-in ballots would result in voter fraud and “substantially fraudulent” election results this November. The social media platform added disclaimers to two tweets, urging Twitter users to “get the facts about mail-in ballots.”The move led Trump to reiterate his long-held claims that social media companies are suppressing conservative voices on their platforms.
