Facebook not the 'truth police for the entire world', official says

Facebook should not be the “truth police for the entire world”, a senior official at the social media company has told an international hearing on fake news in Dublin.

Monika Bickert, Vice President of Content Policy at Facebook, made the comment amid sustained criticisms of social media at the International Grand Committee on Disinformation and ‘Fake News’, held in the Seanad chamber today.
