According to reports, after the "Facebook" company announced its fourth-quarter earnings, Zuckerberg said in a conference call with analysts: "This is a continuation of the work we have been doing for some time." The heat of related events prevents divisive conversations.
Prior to the 2020 U.S. election, Facebook temporarily decided to stop recommending these groups to American users of Facebook.
According to the report, Zuckerberg also said that the company is considering measures to reduce the amount of political content that users see in news updates on Facebook.
He said: “At the moment, one of the most important feedback we hear from the community is that people don’t want politics and struggle to drown out their experience on the platform.”
On January 6, a large number of supporters of former President Trump broke through the police blockade and forcibly broke into the Capitol. The process of verifying the results of the ongoing presidential election was interrupted.
The riot resulted in 5 deaths.
After that, Trump's accounts on Facebook and others were frozen.
But recently, his "Facebook" homepage has been restored.
