Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg seemed to reverse his company's
stance on whether it played a role in the riot at the U.S. Capitol
in January.
In response to questions from Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D., Ill.),
Mr. Zuckerberg said that the presence on Facebook of content
related to the riot showed the company has work to do.
"I'm sorry to interrupt...but would you admit that Facebook
played a role?" Rep. Schakowsky said.
"Certainly there was content on our services," Mr. Zuckerberg
responded.
In January, Facebook Chief Operating Office Sheryl Sandberg said
the siege was planned on smaller social networks, and not on
Facebook.
