Mark Zuckerberg says US govt inaction allowed fake news to spread on Facebook
Zuckerberg - who has himself been widely criticised for a lackluster response to fake news - also called on governments to further regulate private data, political advertising and step up efforts to prevent state actors from interfering in US elections.
Earlier this month, Facebook's Instagram network decided not to take down a fake video of Zuckerberg himself, saying the CEO would not get special treatment. Image source: Reuters
