from the President who appears to be preparing an executive order targeting social media companies.
And according to Zuckerberg, it’s not the place of private companies to interfere with what people post online.
In his interview with Fox, Facebook’s Zuckerberg said that it was not the place of the company to act as an ‘arbiter of truth’.
‘We have a different policy than,
I think, Twitter on this,’ he said.
‘I just believe strongly that Facebook shouldn’t be the arbiter of truth of everything that people say online,’ he added.
‘Private companies probably shouldn’t be, especially these platform companies, shouldn’t be in the position of doing that.’
Dorsey has immediately responded on Twitter, saying that fact checking does not make them an arbiter of truth.
Zuckerberg’s decision to get involved in the debate may come because any executive order Trump imposes could end up affecting Facebook as well as Twitter.
US President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order redefining the legal protections given to social media platforms.
It means platforms such as Facebook and Twitter could be sued if they are judged to "deceptively" block posts.
The draft of the executive order says social networks are engaged in "selective censorship".
Mr Trump has regularly accused social-media platforms of stifling or censoring conservative voices.
On Wednesday, Mr Trump accused Twitter of election interference, after it added fact-check links to two of his tweets.
"Big action to follow," he tweeted.
