Does google use meta keywords tag for ranking a site?

I have read on yoast seo plugin developer page, He said that google has clearly said that they will no longer be using meta keywords for ranking a site? is it true? If yes then should I activate meta keywords in yoast plugin or just it leave it disabled as yoast plugin default settings.

I thought it was clear from my first message....

There is absolutely no point in using keyword meta tags... They have not been used for many, many years now.... In fact should you use it - you are only telling your competition what keywords you are targeting.... But regardless keyword meta tags do absolutely NOTHING!!!!
