Addressing Mr. Zuckerberg, the former leader of the UK Independence Party (UKIP) Nigel Farage said:
"Mr. Zuckerberg, I am the largest user of Facebook in all the European Union institutions in terms of followers, in terms of engagement, so I'm your best client here in the room. I have no idea of the value of that but I am pleased to see you as I hope you are pleased to see me."
He then told the Facebook CEO that it was his creation that made "Brexit or Trump or the Italian elections" possible.

My message to Mark Zuckerberg today:

Stop telling us Facebook is a “platform for all ideas”. The evidence shows your algorithms censor conservative opinions. pic.twitter.com/HWLabaDcP9

To be fair to #Zuckerberg, if I had to share a 10 mile radius with Nigel Farage — that's exactly how I'd look. pic.twitter.com/VqD3zOAOP8

Introduction: "Thank you Mr Zuckerberg for being here, it shows respect to the European parliament".
Conclusion: "You didn't not answer the questions!"
That moment when @Nigel_Farage applauds you for making #Brexit, #Trump, and the #ItalianElections possible. 👏🙄#Zuckerberg #EPZuckerberg pic.twitter.com/zStKIfC76T
