Mark Zuckerberg fights back

The Facebook founder answers his critics on coronavirus fake news, company control and China.

As we look to connect and entertain ourselves during the coronavirus lockdown, many of us are turning to social media outlets and messaging services like Instagram and Whatsapp.

Both are owned by Facebook. Its founder and chief executive Mark Zuckerberg has been speaking to the 成人快手 about how the company is dealing with coronavirus fake news, why his "iron grip" on the company is necessary, and as the moderator for half of humanity, how Facebook can help its three billion users through the pandemic.

Manuela Saragosa is joined by the 成人快手's Business Editor Simon Jack, who spoke to Mark Zuckerberg in his first UK broadcast interview in five years.
