Of course Zuck is the problem, but not for any fact checking lapse. He is the architect of Facebook and therefore responsible for the business model and the Algorithm. It's been clear for years now that the business model is paving a road to disaster. The outrage/dopamine factory and closed loop reinforcement combined with making personas available to the highest bidder should be criminal. Maybe Zuck didn't know in 2015, but by 2017-2018 it was clear what was happening on FB/Twitter/YouTube. The Cambridge Analytica scandal could have provided an excuse and cover to pull the reigns in, but if he did, I am unaware (except for losing the exact way CA was able to get it's data).
