As Facebook’s crises mount, Mark Zuckerberg stands his ground in exclusive CNN interview

CNN  

New York CNN Business — After spending much of this year apologizing for Facebook’s many missteps, CEO Mark Zuckerberg was defiantin an exclusive interview with CNN Business on Tuesday. “A lot of the criticism around the biggest issues has been fair, but I do think that if we are going to be real, there is this bigger picture as well, which is that we have a different world view than some of the folks who are covering us,” Zuckerberg told CNN Business’ Laurie Segall at Facebook’s headquarters in Menlo Park, California. “But I do think that sometimes, you can get the flavor from some of the coverage that that’s all there is, and I don’t think that that’s right either.” The interview follows renewed criticism of Zuckerberg and Facebook after a New York Times investigation last week suggested the company had attempted to ignore and conceal Russian interference on its platform. “A lot of the things that were in that report, we talked to the reporters ahead of time and told them that from everything that we’d seen, that wasn’t true and they chose to print it anyway.” In one exchange, Zuckerberg addressed an assertion in the Times story about why Facebook’s executives decided not to remove a particularly controversial 2015 post from then presidential candidate Donald Trump about Muslim immigration. The Wall Street Journal reported this week that Zuckerberg told employees that recent coverage of Facebook is “bullshit.” Even before the Times investigation, Zuckerberg and Facebook struggled to move past a series of crises, including Russian election meddling, the Cambridge Analytica data scandal, and a massive security breach impacting tens of millions of users.
