Nobel-Winning Journalist Ressa Says Facebook Is 'Biased Against Facts'

Maria Ressa, a journalist of the Philippines and a Nobel Prize laureate, discusses the state of press freedom, and explains why she thinks technology companies should face greater regulation globally. Ressa and Russian editor Dmitry Muratov shared this year’s Nobel Peace Prize “for their efforts to safeguard freedom of expression.” Ressa, the co-founder of digital media company Rappler, was cited for her reporting on President Rodrigo Duterte’s drug war that has killed thousands, as well as for documenting the spread of fake news through social media. She speaks with Bloomberg's Madeleine Lim in an interview for Bloomberg Live’s Equality Summit.
