Zuckerberg says Facebook will remain impartial toward Elizabeth Warren’s campaign after leaked audio revealed his pledges to fight her plan to break up the company
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Thursday that the company will be impartial toward Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s presidential campaign despite his pledge to fight her plan to break up the company if she takes the White House.
Zuckerberg came under fire this week after audio surfaced of an open meeting during which he predicted Facebook would challenge and beat back efforts by a would-be Warren administration to split up the company.A staffer pressed the executive during a Thursday open meeting, which was streamed live after the earlier meeting leak made headlines, on whether Facebook could be expected to treat Warren's campaign fairly given Zuckerberg's remarks.
"Even when people disagree with what I think would be good to happen in the world, I still want to give them a voice — that's what we're here to do," he said. "I would rather have someone get elected even if I disagree with them on everything, which I don’t even think is the case here, than not give them the ability to say what they think.”
Zuckerberg stood by his leaked remarks, which he shared on Facebook after The Verge published audio and a transcript, calling them an “unfiltered” view into his thoughts. He said his comments on Warren were in response to a specific question and “not like an opinion on the election overall.”
