　　“Trump says Facebook is against him. Liberals say we helped Trump. Both sides are upset about ideas and content they don’t like. That’s what running a platform for all ideas looks like,” he wrote.

　　According to Zuckerberg, Facebook played a major role in last year’s election, but it was resoundingly positive: giving a voice to more people, providing candidates a way to communicate directly with their followers and running “get out the vote” efforts.

　　“I made a comment that I thought the idea misinformation on Facebook changed the outcome of the election was a crazy idea. Calling that crazy was dismissive and I regret it,” Zuckerberg said. “This is too important an issue to be dismissive. But the data we have has always shown that our broader impact — from giving people a voice to enabling candidates to communicate directly to helping millions of people vote — played a far bigger role in this election.”

　　Trump has tweeted many times, most recently last week, that special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into possible collusion between the Kremlin and the Trump campaign is a “hoax” and a “witch hunt.”

　　The U.S. intelligence community says Moscow launched a multilayered campaign of deception and propaganda to disrupt American democracy and tilt last year’s election in Trump’s favor.

　　“The Russia hoax continues, now it’s ads on Facebook. What about the totally biased and dishonest Media coverage in favor of Crooked Hillary?” Trump wrote on Twitter on Sept. 22.

　　“The greatest influence over our election was the Fake News Media ‘screaming’ for Crooked Hillary Clinton,” he continued. “Next, she was a bad candidate!”

　　Much like Trump’s successful appropriation of the phrase “fake news,” the accusation that some form of conspiracy transformed Facebook into a hub of anti-Trump propaganda reverses what insiders say actually happened.
