'I certainly worry about an erosion of truth,' the Facebook co-founder and CEO admitted.
Facebook co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg pushed back against calls for strict social media censorship and argued in support of the right to"free expression" on his platform in a Thursday speech at Georgetown University.
Zuckerberg defended his platform against the criticism, but admitted that Facebook doesn't"fact-check" political ads."I don't think it's right for platforms to censor politicians or the news in a Democracy," the billionaire entrepreneur said."And we're not an outlier here. The other major internet platforms and the vast majority of media also run these same ads.
"We intentionally made a Facebook ad with false claims and submitted it to Facebook's ad platform to see if it'd be approved. It got approved quickly and the ad is now running on Facebook," Warren wrote in a Twitter post to explain the experiment.
