"I'm here today because I believe that we must continue to stand for free expression," the CEO said during a live-streamed address at Georgetown University.
During a speech, lasting more than 30 minutes, that was live-streamed on his Facebook page, Zuckerberg unpacked his argument for Facebook's content policies, telling the crowd, "I'm here today because I believe we must continue to stand for free expression." His comments come as political ad spending heats up heading into the 2020 presidential election, during which Facebook will be a powerful tool for candidates to reach voters. "Banning political ads favors incumbents and whoever the media chooses to cover," he said, explaining Facebook's decision to continue to run political ads on its platform and not fact-check or moderate their messages.
