FaceBook is in arms race in the informational war with Russia and its constant attempts to interfere other countries’ presidential elections – informed the founder of the social network Mark Zuckerberg in the Senate. According to his words, the Russian Federation continues an operation of disinformation and fake news creation to violate democratic institutes of the western countries. At the same time he recognizes his responsibility for FaceBook users’ data leakage.
Zuckerberg pointed out that the company prepared for attacks from Russian side in 2016, however, they expected hacker attacks. Instead, Russia used new methods.
During the hearings in the Senate, people got together for an action with ‘Fix FaceBook’ slogan.
