Coming to the recent features of Facebook when it was asked to Mark what Facebook is doing to find missing persons on such a global format he said “In the United States and Canada called AMBER Alert. He said, when a child goes missing, Facebook puts a story in the news feed with the picture of the missing child along with relevant details. He said users see this in their news feed and in many instances have responded with the whereabouts of missing children. Since it launched about a year ago, Zuckerberg said one child had already been found through the initiative.”Mark Zuckerberg also answered about the start up revolution and he said “People before they start a company should know what they are doing. Big companies started with something they cared about.”
The most key question that was thrown at Zuckerberg was on NET Neutrality on which he with compassion responded “Most pushing for net-neutrality already have access to Internet. But those who aren’t can’t sign an online petition for an increase in the Internet. We all have a moral responsibility to look out for those who don’t have access and make sure the rules don’t get twisted to hurt those who don’t have a voice.”
Mark Zuckerberg quoted on the accessibility of internet to every student, as those who do not go to school shall have access to internet to grant him/her with desired knowledge and information.
