Former Facebook Exec Rips Zuckerberg for Not Trying Very Hard to Block Russian Meddling

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
MELBER: "With me now, Antonio Martinez, a former Facebook executive who worked on the ad targeting and wrote mark Zuckerberg was being disingenuous when in the wake of trump's unexpected victory. Is Facebook doing enough to deal with this and are they putting their profits above their role in being fair as a utility in our democracy?"
MARTINEZ: "I think the short answer is no. I am the first to defend Facebook but in this case, particularly in the case of the allegations of Russia and buying ads on Facebook, there's more that Facebook can do. And I don't think it is Facebook putting profit above patriotic duty but I think it was not on Facebook's radar screen."
MELBER: "So not malicious. They just didn't know about it."
MARTINEZ: "I was in charge of the ads quality team during last presidential election and this was so far from our minds and not something we would have thought about I think doesn't surprise me that Facebook was blind sided by this."
MELBER: "Did you ever hear about these ads in Idaho that were from Russia and you thought it looked little hingy?"
MARTINEZ: "At this point we were trying get the campaigns to use Facebook to begin with."
MELBER: "What should Zuckerberg do now and there are cause for him to testify? Do you think he should?"
MARTINEZ: "I think it will be a great show. But Zuckerberg talking to senators who don't know much about tech won't teach us much. What I think they need to do, like Wall Street banks know their customer and have to understand who opens accounts, I think Facebook needs understand who opens these accounts, why, and it is not something they've done and they should be doing."
