In an interview with the BBC, Facebook CEO answered questions about the company's anti-misinformation campaign, the Covid-19 pandemic, upcoming elections, and his near-total control over the world's largest online social network.

"We have learnt a lot since 2016 and I feel pretty confident that we are going to be able to protect the integrity of the upcoming election," he told the BBC.
