Facebook's Zuckerberg Calls for Global Internet Regulations

(Bloomberg) -- Facebook Inc. Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg called for new global regulations governing the internet on Saturday, recommending overarching rules on hateful and violent content, election integrity, privacy and data portability.

In a statement that was also published as an op-ed in the Washington Post, Zuckerberg said the company is seeking regulations that would set baselines for prohibited content and require companies to build systems for keeping harmful content to a minimum.

"We have a responsibility to keep people safe on our services," he said. "That means deciding what counts as terrorist propaganda, hate speech and more. We continually review our policies with experts, but at our scale we’ll always make mistakes and decisions that people disagree with."

Zuckerberg’s comments mark his most visible effort to shape the discourse around the way the company collects information, uses and disperses it around the world.

it will take years and he knows it, so he can look good and keep right on doing what he is doing.

dismiss anything and everything he says. He’s just posturing, pure and simple.
