SNL slams Facebook over whistleblower report during both its cold open sketch and Weekend Update
“Internal documents show that Facebook knew their platform was used to spread hate and disinformation but they hid the evidence,” co-anchor Colin Jost — who attended Harvard at the same time as Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg — said on Weekend Update.
“Now the weird thing is, I went to school with Mark Zuckerberg and I was there when he created Facebook, and I feel terrible. Sometimes I wish I had a time machine so I can go back to college and find Mark and say, ‘Hey man, can I be part of your company?'” Jost added, “Facebook’s also denying a report that’s saying using Instagram can cause users to develop a negative body image, which explains their rival’s new slogan: TikTok, Bring Your Fat Ass Over Here.”
