Zuckerberg Says Hate Speech, Interference Can Never Be ‘Fully Solved’

Hate speech and election interference create problems that “can never fully be solved,” Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg wrote Friday. But the platform altered its “DNA” to address harmful issues like interference, harmful speech, misinformation and data control, he added. It will be more than a “one-year” challenge, he said, but the transformation is underway. The platform now employs more than 30,000 staffers to focus on safety, and Facebook invests billions in security annually, he said. “In the past we didn't focus as much on these issues as we needed to, but we're now much more proactive.”
