Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg told U.S. lawmakers that the company is fighting an “arms race” against Russia-sponsored groups trying to use the social network to manipulate elections and public opinion.
The 33-year-old Internet mogul made the remarks during his testimony before a joint hearing of the U.S. Senate’s Commerce and Judiciary committees on April 11, during which he was grilled on a range of issues — from Facebook’s handling of alleged Russian attempts to interfere in elections to consumer privacy and hate speech.
