Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg responded directly to Donald Trump on Wednesday after the president claimed "Facebook was always anti-Trump." Liberals say we helped Trump," Zuckerberg said in a statement posted to Facebook. At the same time, Zuckerberg said he regrets his earlier comments dismissing the idea that "fake news on Facebook" shaped the outcome of the 2016 presidential election. CNN reported Wednesday that Facebook ads bought by Russians during the campaign referenced Black Lives Matter and was specifically targeted to reach audiences in Ferguson, Missouri and Baltimore. In his Facebook post, Zuckerberg said Facebook gave more people a voice in the 2016 election.
