Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg spoke about the company’s systems at a conference call on Wednesday. The number one priority of the social media leader is to avoid incorrect information on their services, adding Instagram and WhatsApp, he said.
“In times of disaster, or when other people can’t be with their friends and circle of family in userArray … other people really depend on social and communication services,” Zuckerberg said in the call.
He added that Facebook “is certainly experiencing outbreaks of use by others in other areas, especially those most affected.”
