More than 140 scientists funded by Mark Zuckerberg have sent the Facebook founder and CEO a letter demanding that he cease allowing US President Donald Trump to use Facebook to "spread both misinformation and incendiary statements," The Guardian reports.
Signatories to the letter include more than 60 professors at leading US research institutions and one Nobel laureate. Professor Debora Marks of Harvard Medical School stated that their mission - to use technology to prevent and eradicate disease, improve education, and reform the criminal justice system - "is antithetical to some of the stances that Facebook has been taking, so we’re encouraging them to be more on the side of truth and on the right side of history."
