Mark Zuckerberg will not be resigning from his post of CEO at Facebook, the young social media mogul has said in an interview with the Atlantic Magazine.
When asked if he has considered resigning from Facebook, Zuckerberg said ‘No’.
“No, I mean – I am -I do work on philanthropy too, separately. But, these issues are very important,” he said. “We have also worked on a lot of hard problems over the last 14 years in building Facebook. I mean, it started in a dorm room and now it’s this unprecedented community in scale and I am very confident that we’re going to be able to work through these issues,” he added.
Zuckerberg has already announced formation of an independent research committee in the backdrop of the elections in countries like India, Pakistan and the US. Ahead of his Congressional testimonies this week to respond to questions from lawmakers who are outraged at the data breach by the social media giant, Zuckerberg arrived in the US Capital to meet with Congressmen and Senators.
Zuckerberg would testify tomorrow before a joint hearing of the Senate Judiciary and Commerce committees. The next day, he would appear before another joint hearing of the House Energy and Commerce Committee. He has, however, refused to appear before any other foreign committee so far, including that of the UK.
It has already been confirmed by Facebook that data of as many as 87 millions users were compromised in the third party data breach by UK-based Cambridge Analytica, which used the information to influence the 2016 US presidential elections for the Trump Campaign.
“Well, I certainly feel very bad, and I am sorry that we did not do a better job of finding the Russian interference during the 2016 election,” Zuckerberg said.
Zuckerberg said he is looking for guidance everywhere to address this challenge. His company has already taken several measures to address the privacy issues.
Referring to the upcoming elections in countries across the globe, including India, Brazil, US and Pakistan, Zuckerberg announced the formation of an independent election commission for research.
Well, I think what we need to do is be more transparent about what we’re seeing and find ways
