mark zuckerberg. how do they take on fake news and a filter bubble that divides the country? in an interview, he tells lori seigel that facebook is overhauling its mission statement. the plan is to connect communities, not just individuals. >> people are connecting over something that they have in common. there's research that shows that if you want to engage on issues that you disagree on, right, things that society is divided on, the first thing you need to do is connect over common humanity. that can be as something as simple as we both have families or we both like a tv show together, we both like the chicago cubs, or whatever it is. bringing people together and creating communities is a lot of what we can do to create more civil and productive debate on some of the bigger issues, as well. >> what have you had to learn from the spread of misinformation, or what have you learned to make sure that people can really connect? >> yeah. the biggest thing that i've learned as i've traveled around is that great communities have great leaders who are engaged and who just feel an ownership of taking care of the

founder mark zuckerberg knows this and is responding to his company's roam in creating this -- role in creating this so-called filter bubble. he gave an exclusive interview to cnn telling tech's loririginal mission needs to change. >> i used to think that if we work to give people a voice and help people connect that that would make people better by itself. i think that those are important things to do, and we're still going do them. now i feel like we have a responsibility to do even more. today a lot of society is divided. so it's pretty clear that just giving people a voice and connecting people isn't enough. we also have to do work to bring people closer together. >> let me ask how you do that. technology to a degree has always promised to help us discover and to help us learn. there's also the question of is information being hijacked and spread, how do you remain a place of authenticity and for real discourse? >> people are connecting over something they have in common. if you want to engage on issues that you disagree on, right, things that society is divided on, first thing that you need to do is connect over your common humanity. that could be something as simple as we bo
