Discussion: Mark Zuckerberg: Idea That Facebook Influenced Election Is 'Crazy'

Zuckerberg says the idea that people voted the way they did because they
saw a fake news story shows “profound lack of empathy” for people who
voted for Donald Trump.

Aiming to officially become the online propaganda arm of the Trump Administration are you?

I wonder if this subject was addressed

Now mind you two things apply here: there’s no data that suggests that these ads made a difference here. That’s for the pollsters to decide.

Leading to two: while such ads are covered by freedom of speech (up to a point), im quite aware that these ads and those stories had to influence someone.

After all Facebook is a site that played host to a dog fighting page.
