Zuckerberg denies Facebook prioritising profits over safety

Washington - Zuckerberg wrote a note to Facebook employees, hours after a whistleblower testified before US lawmakers.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg hit back at claims the social media giant fuels division, harms children and needs to be regulated, saying the claim the company puts profits over safety is "just not true."

"I don't know any tech company that sets out to build products that make people angry or depressed. The moral, business and product incentives all point in the opposite direction."
