Twitter's ex-CEO stepped up the Silicon Valley beef and attacked Facebook for being a hotbed of anti-vaxxer Bill Gates conspiracy theories
There's a big spat between Twitter and Facebook right now over the nature of free speech and censorship online.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg appeared on Fox News on Thursday to say Facebook won't apply fact-checks to political figures like Trump, following Twitter's decision to fact-check two of the president's tweets about mail-in voting. Former Twitter CEO Dick Costolo attacked Facebook late on Thursday saying it is a hotbed for anti-vaxxer coronavirus conspiracy theories.
He cited a survey, in which 50% of Fox News viewers responded they believe the conspiracy that Microsoft billionaire Bill Gates wants to distribute coronavirus vaccines as a way of tracking people.There's an ongoing spat between Twitter and Facebook right now over whether social media platforms should fact-check politicians, after Twitter slapped warning and fact-check labels on President Trump's recent tweets.
Zuckerberg said Facebook wouldn't introduce similar measures. "I believe strongly that Facebook shouldn't be the arbiter of truth of everything that people say online. I think in general, private companies shouldn't be, especially these platform companies, shouldn't be in the position of doing that," said the Facebook CEO.
