Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg Asks ‘Forgiveness for Our Mistakes’

In a Yom Kippur message, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg asked for “forgiveness for our mistakes” and pledged to “be better.” The message, written on Facebook, comes as the social media giant is coming under increased scrutiny over Russia’s efforts to wage a disinformation campaign and sow discord in the United States through the use of Facebook. “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,” Zuckerberg said.
