Mark Zuckerberg gets schooled for criticising Twitter over fact-checking Trump

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg fuelled a fresh controversy by suggesting private companies to t be “arbiter of truth” after Twitter fact-checked US President Donald Trump’s tweet. Speaking to Fox News, Zuckerberg said that neir Facebook r or “private” social media platform companies should be in position of being arbiter of truth.

Twitter flagged Trump's tweets regarding mail-in ballots which US President has opposing tooth and nail for a long time saying it will be used to rig elections. US President accused Twitter, which has alrey banned political s, of meddling in presidential polls and said that micro-blogging site is doing “everything” in power to censor elections in vance.

White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany informed that US President will soon sign an executive order related to social media companies but didn’t give any furr details. Facebook CEO said that government’s warning to closely monitor and censor social media platforms was t “right reflex”. Netizens slammed Zuckerberg, who has often argued against removing fake news from platform, over his ‘arbiter of truth’ comment.

Twitter CEO takes a jibe at Zuckerberg

Contrary to Zuckerberg’s opinion, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey said that t only company will continue to point out incorrect or disputed information about elections globally but will also mit to and own any mistakes Twitter makes. In a series of tweets, he indirectly took a jibe at Zuckerberg saying action does t make company “arbiter of truth” since intention is to "connect dots of conflicting statements" and show information in dispute so people can judge for mselves.
