CNN’s Camerota to FB Rep.: You Allowed the Big Lie, Propagated by Trump ‘to Proliferate on the Site’
EXCERPT:
CAMEROTA: "On a bigger issue, what about democracy? Does Facebook take any responsibility for what happened on January 6th since it allowed the big election lie, propagated by Donald Trump to proliferate on the site?"
BICKERT: "The responsibility for January 6th, I can’t be more clear about this, than to say the responsibility for January 6th lies with those who broke the law, and those in politics and elsewhere who incited them. And the work that we did both before the election and all the way through January 6th, partnering with academics and researchers, working closely with law enforcement and electoral authorities to understand what the risks were, and to put safety measures in place that started before the election, well before the election, and continued through March, that was work that I’m very proud to have been a part of. I’ve frankly never seen such an effort to prepare for an election."
