Mark Responds to Trump’s Claim that Facebook is Against Him

Mark additionally added to this statement that Facebook has played a fundamental role in 2016 election. He highlighted Facebook efforts in this regard as:

• Unlike other elections, more people participated in this 2016 elections. Many discussions took place on various platforms/Facebook pages; which itself indicates the benefits of Facebook in those elections.
• First time in the history, internet was used for political communication between party members. Additionally, the political candidates communicated with their billions of public via internet.
• The campaigns spent hundreds of millions on online advertising to spread their messages. That’s 1000x more than any problematic ads we have found.
• We ran “get out the vote” efforts that helped as many as 2 million people register to vote. To put that in perspective, that’s bigger than the get out the vote efforts of the Trump and Clinton campaigns put together. That’s a big deal.
