Berlin

: Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg says more work still needs to be done to police hate speech on the social media site in Germany.

Answering a question Friday at a town hall event in Berlin, Zuckerberg said -"hate speech has no place on Facebook-" and that he had being instituting better controls on monitoring and removing it.

German officials have expressed concerns about far-right and other groups using Facebook to spread their messages. Zuckerberg talked personally with Chancellor Angela Merkel about the issue last year.

Zuckerberg says -"until recently in Germany I don't think we were doing a good enough job, and I think we will keep needing to do a ... better job.-"

He says Facebook in Germany now treats migrants as a -"protected class-" of people.
