Mark Zuckerberg takes veiled shot at Trump at F8 conference
Kicking off Facebook's F8 developer conference, the social giant's CEO rejected calls to build more walls and separate people. It was a none-too-veiled shot at the Republican presidential front-runner, who's said that if he's elected, he'll have a wall built along the Mexican border and call for the deportation of millions of illegal immigrants.
"I hear fearful voices calling for building walls and distancing people they label as others," Zuckerberg said onstage. "If the world starts to turn inwards, then our community will just have to work even harder to bring people together."
Trump has previously attacked Zuckerberg, calling the tech CEO's push for more-open immigration through his public interest group Fwd.us a bad move for American workers.
Yet Zuckerberg described a broad mission for Facebook to connect people.
"Instead of building walls, we can help people build bridges," he said. "Instead of dividing people, we can help bring people together."
