Mark Zuckerberg favours for stronger Internet regulation
By MYBRANDBOOK
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said, new regulations are needed to protect society from harmful content, ensure election integrity, protect people's privacy and to guarantee data portability and the governments to play a greater role in regulating the Internet, citing four areas where he believes better rules are needed.
Zuckerberg said new regulations are needed to protect society from harmful content, ensure election integrity, protect people's privacy and to guarantee data portability.
In an editorial published online in the Washington Post and on his own Facebook page, Zuckerberg said: “Every day we make decisions about what speech is harmful, what constitutes political advertising, and how to prevent sophisticated cyberattacks.
“These are important for keeping our community safe. But if we were starting from scratch, we wouldn’t ask companies to make these judgments alone.
“I believe we need a more active role for governments and regulators. By updating the rules for the internet, we can preserve what’s best about it – the freedom for people to express themselves and for entrepreneurs to build new things – while also protecting society from broader harms.”
Zuckerberg said legislation was important for “protecting elections” and it should be updated, adding that Facebook had already made “significant changes around political ads”
The Facebook CEO also endorsed a global framework to protect people's privacy along the lines of the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation: "I believe it would be good for the internet if more countries adopted regulation such as GDPR as a common framework," Zuckerberg said.
He also called for regulation to guarantee data portability, ensuring that users can move data between services. Zuckerberg endorsed a standard data transfer format toward this end.
This is important for the internet - and for creating services people want," he said. "But this requires clear rules about who's responsible for protecting information when it moves between services. Even all the advertising relating to politics on both Facebook and Instagram in the EU must be clearly labelled, including who funded it.
He further says, any advertising not properly registered will be blocked from mid-April, the social network warned. Secondly, the online political advertising laws primarily focus on candidates and elections, rather than divisive political issues where we’ve seen more attempted interference.
As per the report, facebook is no longer allow content supporting white nationalism and white separatism, in the wake of a white supremacist terror attack on mosques in New Zealand that left 50 people dead.
Lastly, he spoke on some laws to apply during elections, although information campaigns are nonstop.
