脸书首席执行官马克·扎克伯格反驳立法者和批评家的观点，他们认为像他这样的大科技公司已经变得太大了，应该被政府解散。
尽管社交媒体平台可能在隐私、选举安全和虚假信息方面存在缺陷，但这位35岁的科技巨头在周五播出的一次采访中告诉福克斯新闻，用户对脸谱网的不满不仅可以由公司解决，还可以由政府制定新的法规来解决。
扎克伯格说:“我基本上认为这些问题都需要我们的努力，但也需要明确的规则，我认为这些规则要么来自政府，要么来自某种独立的自我监管环境。”。“现在，我认为正在发生的是，我认为人们在某些监管方面没有看到足够的进展。”
2016年大选后，俄罗斯特工利用该平台向美国选民散布虚假信息，称他们的准备工作“太慢”，无法识别困扰该网站的虚假信息，他对此进行了回应。
但是现在，扎克伯格说他相信这种情况已经改变了。
他说:“我认为，我们在保护诚信和选举方面取得了很大进展，当然还有很多挑战。”。“几年前，我想你可以看看世界各地的结果和我们的行动，看到我们的系统现在好多了，我们可以更有能力。”
10月17日，脸书创始人马克·扎克伯格在DC华盛顿乔治敦大学的“自由表达对话”上发表讲话。
马萨诸塞州参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦是扎克伯格在国会山最大的批评者之一，标签社交媒体网站是一个“虚假信息牟利机器”她的总统竞选团队上周购买了一则故意虚假的脸书广告，声称扎克伯格和脸书“刚刚支持唐纳德·特朗普连任”，以证明该公司尚未与传播虚假信息的能力作斗争，尤其是如果这是购买的广告的一部分。
这位2020年总统候选人长期以来一直主张分拆大型科技公司，如脸谱网、苹果和微软，以便通过更激烈的竞争为消费者提供选择，并赶走她所说的腐败商业行为。
尽管如此，扎克伯格表示，他不会采取措施让虚假信息远离用户的时间表。
“人们担心，我也非常担心真理的侵蚀，”他说讲述华盛顿邮报周四。“与此同时，我认为人们不想生活在一个只能说科技公司决定百分之百正确的事情的世界里。我认为这些紧张关系是我们必须忍受的。”
MARK ZUCKERBERG TELLS FOX NEWS FACEBOOK MAY HAVE FLAWS, BUT BREAKING IT UP WON'T HELP
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg pushed back against lawmakers and critics who advocate that big tech companies such as his have become too large and should be broken up by the government.
And while the social media platform may have flaws concerning privacy, election security and disinformation, the 35-year-old tech mogul told Fox News in an interview aired Friday that the grievances users have with Facebook can continue to be ironed out not only by the company, but by the government creating new regulations.
"I basically think each of those problems requires work on our part, but also clear rules that I think have to come from either the government or some kind of independent self-regulatory situation," Zuckerberg said. "Right now, what I think is happening, is I think people aren't seeing enough progress on some of that regulation."
He addressed the widespread criticism Facebook received in the wake of the 2016 election after Russian operatives used the platform to sow disinformation into the American electorate, describing their preparedness as "too slow" to be able to identify the false information plaguing the website.
But now, Zuckerberg said he was confident that's changed.
"I think that we made a lot of progress in terms of protecting integrity and elections, certainly a lot of the challenges that were there," he said. "A few years ago, I think you can look at the results and our actions around the world and see that our systems are now a lot better, and we can be a lot more competent."
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg speaks at Georgetown University in a 'Conversation on Free Expression" in Washington, DC on October 17.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts has been one of Zuckerberg's biggest critics on Capitol Hill, labeling the social media site a "disinformation-for-profit machine." Her presidential campaign last week bought an intentionally false Facebook ad that claimed Zuckerberg and Facebook "just endorsed Donald Trump for re-election" to prove the company has yet to combat the ability for false information to be spread, especially if it's part of a purchased ad.
The 2020 presidential candidate has long advocated for breaking up big tech companies such as Facebook, Apple and Microsoft in order to give consumers options through increased competition and to drive out what she calls corrupt business practices.
Still, Zuckerberg has said he won't take measures to keep false information off users' timelines.
"People worry, and I worry deeply, too, about an erosion of truth," he told The Washington PostThursday. "At the same time, I don't think people want to live in a world where you can only say things that tech companies decide are 100 percent true. And I think that those tensions are something we have to live with."
