Facebok leader Mark Zuckerberg said in an interview published Monday that he “had no apple-type agreement” with President Donald Trump about moderating content on the social media giant.
Zuckerberg, in an interview with Axios, rejected “speculation” that Facebok had an agreement that provides the president with carte blanche on the platform.
“Let me be clear: big kind of apple deal,” Zuckerberg told the scoop site.
“Actually, the concept of an agreement is pretty ridiculous.”
The comments come with Facebok under an intense presbound and an upcoming boycott of advertisers, to curb hateful content advertising violence, adding trump.
Facebook’s long-standing policy to circumvent the political fact-checking rhetoric of a big apple, however, was spared an announcement of Trump’s crusade that included a symbol used in the Nazi apple Germabig.

“There are a wonderful array of other Americans who have said that maybe we’re too friendly or too close to the Trump administration,” Zuckerberg said.
He noted that, despite his discussions with Trump, Facebok had had conflicts with the provider administration, adding attacks to Section 230, which provides an online center policy opposed to responsibility for content posted through third parties.
“Under this administration, we face record fines of $5 billion, are under contraception as true with research through several agencies and have been attacked by an executive order to eliminate Article 230 protections,” he said.
He added that “I do speak with the president from time to time, just like I spoke with our last president and political leaders around the world.”
Zuckerberg said he accepted the missive of invitetidirectly to a deceptive non-public dinner with Trump “because I was in town and he’s the president of the United States.”
He noted that “I also had several meals and meetings with President Obama … either in the White House or abroad, and added that he organized an occasion for him at Facebok’s headquarters.”
