Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently made a post to social media begging for forgiveness over accusations that Facebook may have influenced the 2016 election.
The Hill reports that Mark Zuckerberg took to Facebook this week to beg for forgiveness for the role that his social media platform may have played in getting President Trump elected. In a post on his personal Facebook page, Zuckerberg discussed the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur, “tonight concludes Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the year for Jews when we reflect on the past year and ask forgiveness for our mistakes,” said Zuckerberg.
Zuckerberg continued to say, “for those I hurt this year, I ask forgiveness and I will try to be better. For the ways my work was used to divide people rather than bring us together, I ask forgiveness and I will work to do better.” This seems to be a reference to recent accusations that Facebook was used to interfere in the 2016 U.S. election after it was revealed that Russian sources had purchased approximately $100,000 worth of Facebook ads discussing a range of topics, reportedly designed to cause arguments and sow division amongst Facebook users.

I am sick of the election. I don't do facebook and I don't speak Russian. I voted for Donald J. Trump on my own because he was the best out there. Now President Donald J. Trump is in office and is doing fine without facebook or Russia.
Shut up Marky! I witnessed much more support for Killary on Facebook than Trump.
1:26 I totally agree. There was much more support for her then Trump.
only because your friends on facebook are Democrats
Everything has influence on an election , think about it , so what.
Trump is the President and will be again. Everything else is back round noise. Then probably Avanka. 16 years of the Trump family I happy with that.
back round noice is the worst! i heard jake was writting an ordiance for that.
Mark is sorry for allowing the Trump supporters posting all their support. He is sorry for not blocking it!!
Don't trust him...
Hilarious.
FB is literally an intelligence operation.
You don't actually believe goofy Zuckerberg created it do you?
That took a massive TEAM of the most intelligent programmers in the world.
They all work at Langley.
Zuckerberg is nothing more than another Obama puppet. Has anyone wondered why after 2 years supposedly that he was selling ads to the Russians that it never was mentioned until now????? All this Russian conspiracy and charges are completely the DNC, Democrats, Obama, Hillary without a doubt. Anything to take down our President.

He absolutely blocked it from trending. He did everything possible to help Hillary. Fact is Russia advertizing ran but for Hillary not Trump.
Google and Facebook are ultra leftist outfits which do all they can to stifle free speech. Do all they can to boost left wing speech.
The list they use to block supposed "hate speech" supplied by the ultra leftist group SPLC. It does nothing for the poor and nothing for Law either. It is purely a political attack group to the far far left.
