Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg rebuffed charges that the social media behemoth drives division, damages children, and requires regulation on Tuesday, saying the claim that the firm prioritises profits over safety is “simply not accurate.”
“The claim that we intentionally push stuff that makes people upset for profit is deeply nonsensical,” Zuckerberg said in a statement to Facebook staff, which he later shared on his account hours after a whistleblower testified before US legislators.
“I’m not aware of any tech firm that aims to create products that make people angry or depressed. All of the moral, financial, and product incentives point in the opposite way.”
