Nick Clegg says Facebook is not responsible for censoring the Internet
Facebook mismanaged the use of its data and improved its monitoring of fake news, but it cannot be expected to restrict the global Internet, said Nick Clegg, a spokesman for El Pais in an interview.
Facebook vice president for global affairs and communications Nick Clegg said that the technology company can identify and warn users that certain content may be wrong, but not its role in providing alternatives to individuals so they can get a more objective perspective.
Nick Clegg told the Spanish newspaper El Pais: "We are working with organizations that monitor whether there is something real or not, whether there is an exaggeration or false facts, but we cannot be an online police saying what is acceptable or what is absolutely true. Saying stupid things is the freedom of an open society. "
Facebook and other technology giants are facing increasing scrutiny in Europe and the United States of the amount of personal data they have collected on users of their services. Officials and governments have focused on social media being manipulated and as rules for spreading fake news, hate speech and provoking violence.
