As you may have heard, Google, along with social media sites Facebook and Twitter, recently faced a backlash over the alleged role they played in the U.S. presidential election, where many claim the spread of fake news influenced voters to support Republican candidate Donald Trump.

Zuckerberg himself admits, “Of all the content on Facebook, more than 99 percent of what people see is authentic.

Overall, this makes it extremely unlikely hoaxes changed the outcome of this election in one direction or the other.”
