Mark Zuckerberg asks governments to help control internet content BBC News
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-47762091
>What does Mark Zuckerberg want?
>
>In brief, Mr Zuckerberg calls for the following things:
>
> Common rules that all social media sites need to adhere to, enforced by third-party bodies, to control the spread of harmful content
> All major tech companies to release a transparency report every three months, to put it on a par with financial reporting
> Stronger laws around the world to protect the integrity of elections, with common standards for all websites to identify political actors
> Laws that not only apply to candidates and elections, but also other "divisive political issues", and for laws to apply outside of official campaign periods
> New industry-wide standards to control how political campaigns use data to target voters online
> More countries to adopt privacy laws like the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which came into force last year
> A "common global framework" that means these laws are all standardised globally, rather than being substantially different from country to country
> Clear rules about who's responsible for protecting people's data when they move it from one service to another
Fuck him.
