PARIS (AP) — Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has played down the importance of the social networking website for the popular revolutions that toppled presidents in Egypt and Tunisia.
Zuckerberg says the wave of protests against autocratic governments sweeping through the Arab world could have been organized using other websites.
The 27-year-old says "it would be extremely arrogant for any specific technology company to claim any meaningful role."
Zuckerberg also told a meeting on Internet governance in Paris on Wednesday that he considers online anonymity very valuable.
But he says Facebook will continue to require users to sign up with their real names.
He also has no immediate plans to open the service to children under 13.
