Facebook Inc chief executive officer Mark Zuckerberg has a message for developers: you should keep building apps and tools for users, even as the social network tries to work through privacy probes and hate-speech hurdles.
“We all have challenges to address, but we need that optimism, too,” he said at the company’s F8 developer conference on Tuesday in San Jose, California. The hardest part of the year wasn’t the privacy crisis or any of the other various scandals, but deciding how to keep Facebook moving forward on building its business, Zuckerberg said.
