When asked by Swisher who’s to blame for the Cambridge Analytica scandal and related data misuse, Zuckerberg said he “designed the platform, so if someone’s going to get fired for this, it should be me.”

Swisher followed up by asking if he was going to fire himself. “Not on this podcast right now,” he said.

He also sparked outrage across the internet with a comment during the interview regarding Holocaust deniers. “I don’t think that they’re intentionally getting it wrong,” said Zuckerberg.
