Almost exactly two weeks ago, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg was touting the success his platform has had with fact-checking and false-content warnings on posts. This week, however, Zuckerberg told Fox News that, really, he doesn’t think Facebook should be in the fact-checking business at all.<\/p>\n

“I just believe strongly that Facebook shouldn’t be the arbiter of truth of everything that people say online,” Zuckerberg said<\/a> in an interview with Dana Perino. “Private companies probably shouldn’t be, especially these platform companies, shouldn’t be in the position of doing that.” <\/p>\n

The comments come amid a renewed debate about fact-checking on social media as Twitter and its most famous user, President Donald Trump, find themselves at odds. Twitter appended a fact-check notice\u2014its first\u2014to two Trump tweets relating to mail-in ballot fraud. In retaliation, Trump is expected to sign a new executive order<\/a> as soon as today explicitly targeting Facebook’s and Twitter’s ability to fact-check, restrict, or otherwise manage content.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
