Mark Zuckerberg admits Facebook will never run out of fake news

Two Facebook executives have spoken out against several recent allegations that the company isn’t doing enough to combat fake news and racism. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri come to the same conclusion: Their platforms are never free from malicious content.

US President Joe Biden once criticized Facebook for “killing people” when it allowed fake news about Covid-19 vaccines to spread. To this comment, Mr. Zuckerberg replied: “It’s like fighting crime in the city. No one believes that crime can be solved completely. He went on to argue that, just because the crime took place, it did not mean the police failed.

“What we expect is a system of integrity, police departments will do a good job in detecting and catching bad guys, keeping it to a minimum, maintaining a positive trend and always taking care Other problems”.

Mr. Mosseri agrees with the Facebook CEO. In a video posted on July 22, the head of Instagram shared that although racism has no place on Instagram, this is clearly inevitable. Therefore, the company needs to reduce hateful content to as close to zero as possible and provide tools aimed at online harassment for users to protect themselves.

Managing the world’s most “populated” platforms is not an easy thing, especially when the technology world is facing a lot of pressure from legislators. Facebook even posted a blog post calling for an end to blaming them for bad things happening.
