Zuckerberg to US congress:

> [...] And I think that that — it — our general responsibility is to — is to allow the broadest spectrum of free expression as we can ...
In the same hearing:
> I'll ask — my — my question is, on this, do you agree that Facebook and other technology platforms should be ideologically neutral?
> ZUCKERBERG: Congressman, I — I agree that we should be a platform for all ideas, and that we should focus on that.
