During Podcast, Joe Rogan asked Zuckerberg how Facebook handled controversial problems such as the ‘Hunter Biden’ story and whether it was censored.

In response, Zuckerberg said, “So we take a different path from Twitter. I mean, basically, the background here is the FBI basically coming to us … Some people in our team. They are like, hey, only so that you know … you must be vigilant. We think there are many Russian propaganda in the 2016 election, we have it. Be alert. “

Zuckerberg, when it dropped heavily on Twitter because it really blackened the story, acknowledging that they did censor the story on Facebook, reducing their reach.

So our protocol is different from Twitter. What Twitter does is … they say … you can’t share this at all. We don’t do that. What we do is … if there is something reported to us as Incorrect information in wrong information, we also run a program to check the facts of third parties because we do not want to decide what is right and wrong and … I think it is five or seven days when basically determined whether it is wrong, the distribution of Facebook decreases, but People are still allowed to share it, “he said.

So, you can still share it, you can still consume it,” he added, after that Joe Rogan interrupted and asked whether the distribution of the story was reduced.

Zuckerberg replied: “Basically the ranking and news pass are a little less, so fewer people see it than they should.”

He then said, “We got a lot of complaints … this is a hyper-political problem. So it depends on what side from the political spectrum that you think is not censored enough or censor too much, we are not too much, we are not too much, we don’t Too much, we are not too tally black and white as Twitter. “

Meanwhile, in the midst of the controversy, the Republican party accused Facebook of pressing the votes of conservative.

We are a bit thinking, hey, see whether the FBI that I see as a legitimate institution in this country … they come to us and tell us that we need to stand guard about something, so I want to consider it seriously,” said Zuckerberg.

According to the New York Post, more than 50 former senior intelligence officials signed a letter that claimed the laptop’s story “has all the classic characteristics of Russian information operations.”

Zuckerberg regretted Facebook’s response to the story when Joe Rogan asked, “Is there any regret for not sharing it evenly and to strangle the distribution of the story?”

He said, “Yes, that is annoying … it turns out that after the examiner the facts look into it, no one can say it’s wrong … I think it’s annoying, in the same way, which might have to go through a criminal trial but proved to be innocent in the end annoying. “
