Two recent posts from CEO Mark Zuckerberg addressing the controversy over fake news spreading on Facebook (FB, Tech30) were briefly deleted on Tuesday. The posts re-appeared after media outlets called attention to the matter.
In one post from November 12, Zuckerberg tried to play down concerns about the impact of fake news on the election.
"More than 99% of what people see is authentic," he wrote.
In the second post from November 19, Zuckerberg laid out steps Facebook planned for cracking down on the spread of misinformation.
Facebook told CNNMoney the posts were "removed by mistake," along with eight others from Zuckerberg.
