Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said his company’s policies differ from those of Twitter when it comes to fact-checking users. For the first time, Twitter tagged two of President Donald Trump’s tweets on Tuesday with a fact-checking note indicating that his statements were misleading. Angered over the notes, Trump later accused Twitter of attempting to influence the upcoming 2020 presidential election. “I just believe strongly that Facebook shouldn’t be the arbiter of truth of everything that people say online,” he said. “I think in general, private companies probably shouldn’t be — especially these platform companies — shouldn’t be in the position of doing that.”A preview of Zuckerberg’s interview was published Wednesday and is scheduled to air in full on Thursday.
