Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg discusses 'next steps in protecting election integrity'

[applegrove]

[we can do it]

1. Go to hell, thief. Slimy little asshole.

[applegrove]

3. Why so down on a great website? What are your reasons?

[we can do it]

6. Great???😂🤣😂🤣😂

[applegrove]

9. Are you afraid of him running?

[dogman]

10. I am.

Being more qualified than the T-Rump is not enough. This shows me he just wants more MPG (money power, glory), Seem like GOP traits.

[global1]

2. Zuckerberg Looked A Little Spooked About This...

I happened to catch his comments on one of the cable news shows. Could he be in any kind of trouble because of this?

[PoliticAverse]

7. "Could he be in any kind of trouble because of this?" - this is a PR disaster not likely a legal one

As Zuckerberg mentioned the real problem is that these platforms are highly automated and so actual
people never get involved in seeing and or approving these ads before they air. Automation saves a
tremendous amount of money but as you see it can result in unintended consequences that are only
found after the fact. Note that a similar thing happened to Google with their marketing of ads via
targeted keywords recently.

It's unlikely the people running Facebook were colluding with Russia to destroy Clinton's campaign,
the Chief Operating Officer of Facebook (the person that runs things on a day to day basis) is a
"personal friend" of Hillary Clinton and was giving her advice concerning her campaign. The tech
industry in California is not at all pro-Trump.

11. I Heard Something About Facebook Being Paid In Rubles.....

is that fake news or legitimate?

Is it is real - wouldn't that tip them off that it was Russian based ads?

[bettyellen]

12. Adam Schiff confirms that they were paid in rubles- for political ads.

That's not algorithms, that's letting he fox in the hen house.

[SonofDonald]

18. But then we recently heard about "Project Alamo"

Which stated Facebook and Google among others sent workers to trumpys election efforts to help with directing their message to citizens.

So all bullshit to me, seems like everything else about this nightmare, when asked a question they lie, pretty disgusting when they come right out and say "trust me".

Sorry but it won't work.

[Iggo]

4. HOW 'BOUT YOU DON'T SELL CAMPAIGN ADS TO THE RUSSIANS.

YOU FUCKING FUCK.

[bettyellen]

14. Don't accept rubles for fucks sake!

[elehhhhna]

5. Sorta efffs up his megalomaniacalaal future run for president tho yeah?

[PoliticAverse]

8. President is reaching too far. People like him usually run for -and occasionally become - a Senator.

[Not Ruth]

16. More signs point to Mark Zuckerberg possibly running for president in 2020

13. I understand he's trying to make all the money he can but he should have

REAL HUMANS paying attention to what's going on not only with their ads but also postings of abuse, violence etc. I don't have facebook and when I hear some of the stupid postings I'm glad I don't.

[Not Ruth]

15. Might be time for Zuckerberg to resign

It will bring credibility back to Facebook

[applegrove]

17. The internet is new. Like anything new it got exploited by people who practice

the darker arts. They used to be criminals on the edges of society. Now these same criminals are supported by authoritarian political leaders worldwide and Republicans at home. Once, shame on them. If it happens again in a big way i will be angry at Zuckerberg.

[BigmanPigman]

19. This video convinced me...corruption! It was posted on DU

and is unbelievable. The woman said that without Facebook 45 wouldn't have won and the bulk of his ad budget $85 million was paid to them.
