Was Russian placed ads om Facebook this big a deal that people think they influenced the election?
Yes. Absolutely. Yes.
Why are we suddenly acting like controlling the flow of information isn't a powerful tool to influence public perception?

Sure, but he also signed The Giving Pledge:People donate to charity for tax breaks. Doesn't mean a whole lot
This fucking idiot would be a disaster if he ran

I swear to god if I have to vote between Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump in 2020 I'm going to shoot myself
Don't forget the wall, unlike Trump Zuck actually managed to do it.
Isn't that what people were saying about Trump?
"I hope he wins the Republican primary and get destroyed in the election."
Not sell ads to Russians looking to interfere with our election?
Zuckerberg is the one potential Democrat presidential candidate that would cause me to abstain from voting even if it meant another four years of Trump. That said, I believe in the Democrat base. As much as I wanted Bernie over Hillary she was still an understandable choice all things considered. I have faith that billionaire sociopaths don't have any openings to exploit with the Democratic base or party yet. Also, I guarantee Bernie would rise from the dead if it meant stopping a Zuckerberg candidacy with momentum and barring some crazy scandal Bernie would kill him in 2020.If he were to end up winning I'd either die or literally leave the country. Hes a sociopath.
I rather he run and get destoryed.
Dude has the charm of a soggy English muffins
Jesse Eisenberg played both Mark Zuckerberg and Lex Luthor... coincidence???
Just read this. Can this douche please not run for president? Please?

I want him to run to see how quickly someone uses this in an attack ad
William Randolph Zuckerberg does have a nice ring to it.Regardless of what people think about his ability to win the prospect of someone in control of a media platform that has the reach and level of influence as Facebook is fucking terrifying
Suppress all negative stories about himself. Or allow fake positive stories about him to get posted everywhere. Ramp up fake damaging stories about his opponents. He could easily do all of this.
He and his corrupt platform need to fuck off
Germany and France aren't letting these incidents slide. They've got healthy democracies lacking slave state enabling electoral colleges on top of higher voter participation. Germany is also building quite the cyber defenses iirc. Macron also dressed Putin down on television for the whole world to see in regards to Russian fake news propaganda and hacks. If anything Trump's win will just encourage foreign governments to meddle in US elections again since his administration has made no significant preparations for future attacks and sweeping electoral reform/voter registration will never happen under a Republican administration.Trump's election win will only empower foreign governments to attempt to influence any Western election from now on if things go unchecked.

This dude sucks. I can't wait to watch him spend a shitload of money on a political campaign that will inevitably fail because he can't speak in public for more than thirty seconds without looking like some kind of sweaty, dumbass alien from Planet Robotic Jerkoff
This is what I'm most afraid of about Trump.
Not what he'll do, but what he'll inspire with these braindead celebs/moghuls trying to copy him and run for president (e.g., Zuckerberg, Bloomberg, and, God forbid, Kanye West)
What have you done for the world that can compare to the billions he has pledged to charity and research?
Yup, no easy way to fix it! I have no idea how these ads for my election showed up this election cycle. I wish there were a way to write a good algorithm to stop this, but I just can't help the billions in free advertising.
The problem of fake news being proliferated, and of Facebook targeted ads have a similar outcome but a pretty different cause. You're only describing the one that *is* easy to fix, but that doesn't seem to be what Obama was talking about.
People donate to charity for tax breaks. Doesn't mean a whole lot
Neither are easy to fix but neither are impossible to fix and it is telling the zuckerbergs first response / reaction (and second third and fourth) is that there either isn't a problem, or there isn't a solution.
In his mind Facebook is designed as well as it can be, and it should not be questioned.
He employed whole buildings of 1 dollar an hour labor to process flagged posts and check if they show a tit or a dick in them or not, but cared not about pictures of beheadings, racist memes, anti-semitism, private picture sharing groups, fake "news" that is presented the same way as respectable journalism, political ads from anyone with cash including foreigners, and undoubtably a ton more we have yet to find out.
