Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg on Thursday vigorously defended his company as a bastion of free speech to be used by all individuals at a time when it is also facing calls to be broken up due to what some consider its omnipresent status as a forum for promoting public discourse over politics and other topics.

Zuckerberg delivered his comments in a speech at Georgetown University that was titled “A Conversation on Free Expression.” In his address, Zuckerberg referred to the present time as “another crossroads” in history, and stressed repeatedly that he is in favor of more free speech online instead of clamping down on the ability of individuals to share their voices, even if the topics at hand might inflame public debate or upset peoples’ personal sentiments.
