Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has responded to Aaron Sorkin’s blistering New York Times open letter by quoting the Social Network screenwriter’s own words – from 1995’s 'The American President'
, publicly called out Zuckerberg for continuing his company’s “practice of posting demonstrably false ads from political candidates.”
Sorkin goes on to note that “…right now, on your website, is an ad claiming that Joe Biden gave the Ukrainian attorney general a billion dollars not to investigate his son. Every square inch of that is a lie and it’s under your logo. That’s not defending free speech, Mark, that’s assaulting truth.” “Not even Larry Flynt would say Larry Flynt,” Sorkin notes. “This isn’t the same as pornography, which people don’t rely upon for information. Last year, over 40 percent of Americans said they got news from Facebook. Of course the problem could be solved by those people going to a different news source, or you could decide to make Facebook a reliable source of public information.
