Joe Biden may give ex-Google boss Eric Schmidt a top administration role but Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg could face a more hostile reception from the president-elect.

Mr Schmidt, who ran the search giant from 2001 to 2011, is being considered to lead a new technology industry task force in the White House, says a report.

But Mr Zuckerberg may have some work to do after Facebook’s decision to not fact-check political ads during the campaign “irritated” Mr Biden, according to the Financial Times.
