Not considering resigning, says Facebook’s Zuckerberg
Washington: Embattled Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said he has no plans to resign, sounding defiant after a rough year for the social platform. He also defended Facebook chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg, who has drawn criticism over her handling of the social media giant’s recent crises. Facebook has stumbled from one mess to another this year as it grappled with continuing fallout from Russia’s use of the platform to interfere in the 2016 US presidential election, the Cambridge Analytica scandal and a huge security breach involving millions of accounts.
