Mark Zuckerberg: Facebook won't fact-check politicians Amid US President Donald Trump's war on social media, after Twitter fact-checked his recent tweet and put a warning label in the post and a subsequent tweet, after the politician made a claim without providing any tangible evidence, Zuckerberg has said Facebook doesn't think it's right for them to be fact-checking politicians.

This comes after Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey defended Twitter's decision to fact-check Trump.

The tweets were both accompanied by a warning label in the post.

In response, Trump accused Twitter of "stifling" free speech.
