Zuckerberg believes Holocaust deniers are simply misinformed
It's just normal political dialogue after all.

Facebook wants you to know that it cares, deeply, about fake news.
Ever since it emerged that Russian hackers and Cambridge Analytica exploited the social media giant during the 2016 presidential election to push divisive lies, Facebook has done its utmost to give readers the impression that it has the issue under control. It’s started education campaigns, published ads in newspapers and on billboards, and updated its moderation guidelines.
But despite these changes, there is still an immense reluctance on the part of Facebook to decide what is offensive or misleading. The latest example was seen on Tuesday, in an interview between Mark Zuckerberg and Recode’s Editor-at-Large, Kara Swisher, during which Zuckerberg described what he thought his company’s role was.
“I’m Jewish, and there’s a set of people who deny that the Holocaust happened. I find that deeply offensive. But at the end of the day, I don’t believe that our platform should take that down because I think there are things that different people get wrong,” Zuckerberg said. “I don’t think that they’re intentionally getting it wrong. It’s hard to impugn intent and to understand the intent.”
