Zuckerberg wrote on Thursday that he wants to focus on protecting Facebook users from abuse, defend against interference by nation-states and “making sure that time spent on Facebook is time well spent.”“The world feels anxious and divided, and Facebook has a lot of work to do,” Zuckerberg wrote in the post. “We won’t prevent all mistakes or abuse, but we currently make too many errors enforcing our policies and preventing misuse of our tools,” Zuckerberg wrote. “Back in the 1990s and 2000s, most people believed technology would be a decentralizing force,” Zuckerberg wrote. A new law in Germany, for example, obliges social networks to remove online hate speech or face stiff fines. The social network reported $16 billion (€14.2 billion) in net income on $36 billion sales during the 12 months ending on September 30.
