Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted today that he was wrong to dismiss the idea that so-called “fake news” on Facebook influenced the election back in November — he had initially called the notion “crazy.”
“Calling that crazy was dismissive and I regret it,” Zuckerberg wrote in a Facebook post today. “This is too important an issue to be dismissive.”
