Zuckerberg denies he is running for public office

FACEBOOK chief Mark Zuckerberg says he is not running for public office but is making a series of public appearances “to learn about people’s hopes and challenges.”

The co-founder of the world’s biggest social network sought to dampen speculation he is running for president, fueled by his campaign-style appearances around the United States.

“My personal challenge this year is to visit every state I haven’t spent time in before to learn about people’s hopes and challenges, and how they’re thinking about their work and communities,” Zuckerberg said. “Some of you have asked if this challenge means I’m running for public office. I’m not.”

Zuckerberg said he wants “to get a broader perspective to make sure we’re best serving our community of almost two billion people at Facebook” and to help understand how to get the most from the philanthropy he set up with his wife, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.
