Facing criticism that fake news on Facebook helped the rise of Donald Trump, his network has been firmly defended by creator Mark Zuckerberg.
Talking at Techonomy, a technology seminar in California on stage, Mr Zuckerberg said Facebook is not agreed its a fake news.
“The idea that fake news on Facebook influenced the election in any way is a pretty crazy idea,” he said.
“If you believe that then I don’t think you have internalized the message Trump supporters are trying to send in this election.”
According to the facts, stories related to the EU elections and the results being widely disused on the social media.
For an increasing number of individuals, especially Americans, Facebook has become the primary source of news coverage.
The website’s News Feed is made specifically to reveal users content it believes will be of most interest, creating what some describe as a “filter bubble” that strengthens an individual’s perspective without injecting differences in opinion.
