| Facebook denies it is responsible for Trump Mark Zuckerberg has rubbished the notion that fake news on Facebook helped Donald “Prince of Orange” Trump secure victory in the US presidential race. Speaking at the Technomy conference in California, Zuckerberg said the “small amount” of fake news on the social media platform could not have influenced the election. Zuckerberg said: “Personally, I think the idea that fake news on Facebook – it’s a very small amount of the content – to think it influenced the election in any way is a pretty crazy idea.” He claimed that even if mock-up news items were shared it was quite possible that both parties used the idea. “Voters make decisions based on their lived experience. There is a profound lack of empathy in asserting that the only reason someone could have voted the way they did is because they saw fake news. If you believe that, then I don’t think you internalised the message that Trump voters are trying to send in this election,” he said. http://www.techeye.net/news/facebook...ible-for-trump |
