The interview with Kara Swisher was supposed to be about Burn’s new film about Muhammed Ali and the production of documentaries. Ken Burns took up the subject without being asked. However, his criticism of Zuckerberg is not new. The Facebook boss allows false information to be spread in the social network at a very tense time, Burns said in an MSNBC interview last month. The filmmaker spoke of disinformation in the Soviet style.
Facebook is a place where all the “viruses” come together: misinformation, paranoia, lies and the oppression of voters: inside. Then it is claimed that people are not interested in facts and the truth and do not want to hear the diverse voices, explains the filmmaker.
