Mark Zuckerberg apologizes for the 'division' caused by Facebook.
The creator of Facebook took advantage of Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement, one of the most important dates in the religion, to apologize to the people he hurt, and also "for the ways my work has been used to divide people instead of uniting us"; this statement is important, since Facebook has been accused of being a weapon of information manipulation, which became quite clear especially in last year's American elections, in which 'fake news' was shared indiscriminately.
