WASHINGTON: Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg said Wednesday that Facebook wants to stop spread of misinformation on the social media platform but recognizes that people don't want Facebook to control the truth. 

Zuckerberg said Facebook is "definitely not" trying to take on the role of deciding what is true, but at the same time is working to hire more certified fact checkers to make sure false stories don't circulate on the social media platform.
