Facebook Inc. CEO Mark Zuckerberg said he is “dead serious” about preventing future interference by foreign powers in U.S. elections on his social network, adding that the company is working with Congress on political ad-transparency legislation.
“I think this could be very good, if done well,” Zuckerberg said on a conference call with investors to discuss earnings, the same day Facebook’s general counsel represented the company during hours of congressional testimony on Russia’s campaign to manipulate U.S. voters.
