Zuckerberg said that one of his formative experiences has been building Meta's services constrained by what Apple allows on its platforms.
Resolved true The record shows it happened or was so.
Factual: Statements about the present or the past, checked against the record: did they hold up?
The second judge would not resolve this claim; the verdict shown is the first judge's.
Said for an organisation they lead or work for; it counts on both records.
What would count as true or false
The claim is that Zuckerberg said one of his formative experiences has been building Meta's services within the limits of what Apple allows on its platforms. True: a primary source dated on or around 2024-07-23 (such as his 'Open Source AI Is the Path Forward' letter, or a transcript or recording) shows he made this statement, in substance or word for word. Mostly true: he made the statement, but the wording or date differs slightly in a way that does not change its meaning. Mixed: he made a related but clearly different statement about Apple's constraints. Mostly false: the words are attributed to him but misquoted in a way that changes their meaning. False: primary sources show he did not make such a statement.

E1 'Soul crushing': Mark Zuckerberg slams Apple's 'closed ecosystem' as Meta unveils new AI models BusinessToday · 25 July 2024
“"One of my formative experiences has been building our services constrained by what Apple will let us build on their platforms," Zuckerberg wrote.”
Reasoning
BusinessToday (E2), an independent outlet reporting on 2024-07-25, quotes Zuckerberg word for word: "One of my formative experiences has been building our services constrained by what Apple will let us build on their platforms." It reports that he wrote this as Meta unveiled new AI models, which fits the timeframe named in the criteria [E2]. The evidence does not include the primary source itself, but the specific, verbatim, attributed quotation supports the claim that he made the statement.
