Zuckerberg is actually right. If Trump promoted his Colorado wall, would you want FB to stop that? The ad would serve as proof that he’s a lying president. If you found out, “FB stops ad of Trump stating he doesn’t know where Colorado is,” you would suddenly say, FB is defending Trump. This is why context matters. Whereas, an incorrect election date isn’t a lie towards a candidate, it’s a lie directly to the FB community, so that would have to be stopped. Racist or violent ads would be as well. It isn’t black or white, it’s very gray. And that’s why Zuckerberg couldn’t answer.

[@MarkArandjus]

Mark Arandjus Yes, I know that. But that’s my point. Society needs to learn to NOT trust what’s posted on FB 100% of the time. And a less partisan MSM would really help with that. Reform the media, and FB is a non-issue.

@ lol that's a nice story my friend. It's nice to have make believes and fairytales but sometime you got to live in real life buddy. We talked about biden son. Those are conspiracies that been debunked. Biden son may not be qualified, but anyone could be a board member. Even you! Though I would feel sorry for what ever business that hires you. Also biden didnt interfere with the investigation because there was no investigation into his son. The investigation into the business was done two months after biden son was hired in 2014. He was going after someone who didnt fight corruption. In 2015. The whistleblower had gone through a legal process and had his facts backed up . Its true!! Trump on the other hand whole family has yet to stop getting business dealing, passing laws that will enrich himself and his family, called on multiple countries to investigate his opponents, and sent his attorney to gather evidence under the guise of justice. And we know that because they are literally telling us they did it. Micky his new chief told us so! So glad you got your conspiracy helmet on

@@johnathanjones9684 Sorry buddy, but Biden's son getting a number of high paid positions in foreign countries for which he is not qualified stinks to high heaven and you know it. If it were Trump's son you'd be calling for impeachment on that alone. And if there truly were no investigation, then why is Biden caught on tape bragging about having ended an investigation by threatening to withhold funds? I know, I know, rational thought is hard for a liberal. As for Trump, we have the transcript and the whole thing has been debunked. The Dems are pushing for impeachment because they're still butt hurt over 2016 but have no other basis for it. First you tried to paint Trump as racist and when that didn't pan out, it was a traitor for the Russians. When that didn't work it was obstruction. And now that the obstruction narrative has collapsed you've grasped onto a new conspiracy theory just as the rug was pulled out from under you. But without any new conspiracy theory to latch on to, you've going to hang on to this one for as long as possible.

Ok, I'm for both sides. She did ask good questions, but she Also didn't let him answer correctly and would cut him off. All these politicians ask a lot of yes or no question, the fact of the matter is that these questions are not just yes or no. He stated if the content is pushing hate or any immediate danger they will take it down, but if it's just hear say they won't. He also tried to explain that it depends on the post if it's an organic post ( not an ad) they won't take it down, because they are untitled to say what they want to say and Facebook would look bad taking post down. Now it's different if you're paying for ads. Also with targeting specific demographics, Facebook has done alot of changes where you can't target that specifically. I run Facebook ads for many businesses and see that they don't. Also with the white supremacy questions, he literally answered it saying they don't choose the fact checkers and it is chooses by an independent organization. But she goes ahead and blames him. Now to end it, Facebook is an option you have the option to go on and go off. If you don't like what you see get off. I understand some stuff is misleading and they do try at points to mitugate that, but the idea of a government trying to shut down a company for stuff like this is more scary than Facebook trying to stay a business.

Stupid questions deserve stupid answers and gibberish sentences deserve a " wtf do you mean?!" She can't rephrase the question coz she's simply reading her script her handler gave her.

[@miameow4833]

Can you please rephrase what she said in English please? Since you seem to think you understand. Thanks in advance.

[@juuva6918]

but her style of asking questions is not, otherwise she would have let him speak more than 5 words without interrupting him.

[@aranbrico1005]

I feel like that when I have to answer about a function I didn't write.... wait, hold on, perhaps he didn't write Facebook to begin with... 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Iguesssoanyways]

I get what Mark is saying, but most people won’t research whether an ad they’re seeing is a lie or truth. Just saying, most people will only read the headline or first line of a story. If it is “Hilary is a liar,” or “Trump loves Nancy Pelosi.” That’s what people will most like only read and believe. Lol.

[@nntflow7058]

Political Ads are one of the ads that required to be reviewed. Taking down lies on political ads are the as taking down Fake supplement that claim to cure cancer. It's both lies.

[@F0XHunter]

I think you're misunderstanding his intentions, they won't remove ads that come from politicians but they'll give them a mark saying that the ad is fake news, at least that's what i understood

[@Iguesssoanyways]

BlackStar 458 🤔 I don’t think so. He’s pretty much saying he doesn’t believe that Fb should be held accountable for what Politicians’s ad, even if they’re false. He doesn’t say that Fb will even flag the ad as a lie. The only thing Fb will do is take down ads or content that “is calling for violence, or could risk imminent physical harm, or voter or census suppression.” Mark is pretty much saying if the ad is a lie, then the people should see for theirselves that that person is lying and spreading misinformation or whatever. That being said, like I said most people will not research whether what they read is true or false. That’s what happened in the 2016 election and in everyday life in general. Many people will believe what they read is true. Most people are not thinking about who is the source? what is the source’s objective? Is this a reliable source? Do they have evidence to back up what has been stated?

[@Iguesssoanyways]

Bren Hates Not at all. All I’m saying is most people won’t research what they consume. Because they believe in their sources.

[@jooeee23]

Why does he have to keep saying congress women, just another reason why I don’t use Facebook anymore

[@venum17]

To burn time, even if only a little each time, might shave off a whole question.

[@yassinespertofski]

Well if you were in his position you might get why he is,you can't adresse her as women or nothing it has to do with respect and the picture of him self he's giving. and if this is a reason why you stoped using faceboolk then you woulden't understand anything that is hapening.

[@jamaalrosen4068]

These questions weren't hard, they were childish. This is like a kid asking their parents why they can't just go to the atm and get money if they have no money. Wasn't Edward Snowden a hero for whistleblowing the invasive surveillance programs that the NSA had in place? Now things didn't go in your favor so it's not only ok but Facebook's inherent responsibility to monitor the conversations of all of its members and make sure it falls in line with an accepted political narrative?

A lot of people still use Facebook. I don't know anyone that doesn't.

[@chanceym6000]

[@americanenigma_5108]

Her AGENDA is not to stop “ lying ads” !! She wants “ FACT CHECKING “ as a way to CENSOR republic or conservative ads !! That’s her MOTIVE I believe ! She tries to say “ lying ads” so she wants that anyone who doesn’t agree with her policy should be labeled as “ lie” and get censored by “ fact checking “

[@UberTankred]

Her questions aren't smart and he is not in a position to speak freely. The real question is why these dog and pony shows take place at all. She "grilled" him... so what are the consequences? There are none. The Zuck goes home and makes another billion. Ridiculous!

[@bryantjan4982]

FOR ALL YOU HATERS. Both of them made a valid case. AOC pushed a bit too far, but we do need to fact check certain political ads at a certain threshold. Meanwhile, Mark is in a hard position because, censorship is a hard thing, especially with politics in a free country. Too much will cause uproar, and too little is dangerous. Please understand that these two are talking about a serious and difficult issue. I don't care if you are Republican or Democratic, put yourself in their shoes.

[@malakyparis4662]

Looks like his got some kind of earpiece ,someone telling him what to say...

[@climateteacherjohnj7763]

This is way too spliced and edited to give any fair impression of what Zuckerberg had to say. He could have derailed his own testimony if she hadn't interrupted him so many times, just saying. Not a fan of Zuckerberg by any means but AOC has a lot to learn about interrogating a witness; especially a well prepared witness who also happens to be a genius. To get anything out of this, skip biased video editors and go to the full testimony. The problems with Facebook are deeper than this surface level treatment.
