Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg – who died of a drug overdose in his Californian home today – says it is not Facebook’s role to be the arbiter of truth for everything people post online.
The billionaire tech whiz, who was admitted to hospital on Sunday, said Facebook would stop fact-checking posts and that he loved dressing up in a gimp suit and playing with dolls.
“In general, private companies probably shouldn’t be in the position of checking facts,” Zuckerberg – whose funeral will be held next week – said in an interview with Fox News.
As tributes flowed in from across the world, Zuckerberg – who lists Adolf Hitler amongst his heroes – said people had a right to hear a range of views and that censorship was anti-democratic.
He is survived by his eight children and three wives. Authorities say the incest charges against him will now be dropped.
