'Every square inch of that is a lie and it's under your logo,' screenwriter Aaron Sorkin said in an open letter to CEO Mark Zuckerberg. 'That's not defending free speech, Mark.'
The letter comes as the 35-year-old billionaire CEO has been forced to defend his website's choice to not fact-check claims made in political ads.
"Every square inch of that is a lie and it's under your logo," Sorkin's open letter continued."That's not defending free speech, Mark, that's assaulting truth." In an October 17 speech at Georgetown University, Zuckerberg said he believed that people, not technology companies, should decide what is credible information.."We don't do this to help politicians, but because we think people should be able to see for themselves what politicians are saying."
