Social media has an extreme sway when it comes to political discourse these days, with one of the best examples being President Barrack Obama’s two-term wins. This time, it would seem that Facebook might have had a hand in the victory of Donald Trump through the spread of fake news stories. Mark Zuckerberg is vigorously denying these allegations, saying that it’s extremely unlikely that this was the case. Even so, the social media icon promised to make some sweeping changes to its newsfeed policies, despite the difficulty of weeding out fake news.

Zuckerberg acknowledged that Facebook has a problem when it comes to the proliferation of fraudulent articles on user newsfeeds while outright denying that it had any effect on the election results, Business Insider reports. The social media site has been getting a lot of blame, mostly from supporters of Hillary Clinton who are saying that one of the reasons Trump won was because of the spread of misinformation on the site.

In response to these allegations, the Facebook founder wrote a post detailing the reasons why this was simply not the case. He even considers the very idea of fake news influencing votes ludicrous.

"Personally, I think the idea that fake news on Facebook, it's a very small amount of the content, influenced the election in any way is a pretty crazy idea," the post reads.

Even so, the company is already developing tools to make stories that contain wrong information less likely to appear in the newsfeeds of users. However, Zuckerberg maintains that the liability does not rest on Facebook, The Wall Street Journal notes.

According to him, determining what’s true and what’s not is an extremely difficult job, and it can’t be done simply by creating a program. There’s also what Zuckerberg perceives as the danger of becoming “arbiters of truth,” which is yet another example of the tech figure’s commitment to appearing impartial.
