Zuckerberg calls for government to regulate "harmful content" on the internet - GoFuckYourself.com

Looks like Zuckerberg is pushing for DMCA Safe Harbor modification. This coming from the company that live streamed the New Zealand church massacre.

"Zuckerberg called for regulators to hold internet companies "accountable for enforcing standards on harmful content," an idea that has served as a point of contention in the United States and other countries where social media platforms have long been immune from such legal punishments."

Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg calls for more regulation of the internet

New York (CNN Business) Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg, who has been under scrutiny for the social media company's role in spreading misinformation and inadequately policing content, is calling for regulators to play a "more active role" in establishing rules for the internet.

Zuckerberg called for stricter regulation of "harmful content, election integrity, privacy and data portability" in an op-ed published Saturday on his official Facebook account and in the Washington Post.

"I believe we need a more active role for governments and regulators," he wrote. "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's missive was the most comprehensive the Facebook CEO has ever been on the issue of government regulation. His call comes as US federal prosecutors are reportedly probing Facebook's data sharing deals with a number of large technology companies. The US Federal Trade Commission is said to be in talks with Facebook over a possible record fine. And European officials continue to scrutinize the company.

Facebook was roundly condemned this month when it failed to stop a live stream by the suspect in the New Zealand terrorist attack that killed 50 people. The platform has also faced a litany of scandals, ranging from hate speech to privacy, and criticism over the spread of fake news, especially during national elections.

"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," he wrote. "But if we were starting from scratch, we wouldn't ask companies to make these judgments alone."

Zuckerberg called for regulators to hold internet companies "accountable for enforcing standards on harmful content," an idea that has served as a point of contention in the United States and other countries where social media platforms have long been immune from such legal punishments.

He also mentioned Facebook's efforts to patrol political content, much of which was done after the platform was linked with the spread of misleading information ahead of the 2016 US presidential election.

"Our systems would be more effective if regulation created common standards for verifying political actors," he said.

Zuckerberg also called for a "global framework" for data privacy regulations modeled on the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation. That law, which went into affect in May last year, threatens fines for internet companies that improperly share data about their users.

His support of that regulation comes one year after details emerged about Cambridge Analytica, the now-shuttered company that was accused of trying to influence American voters using information gleaned from 50 million Facebook users.

The CEO said data portability — which he described as the ability for users to move their data between social media platforms and other services — should be guaranteed.

"True data portability should look more like the way people use our platform to sign into an app than the existing ways you can download an archive of your information," he said. "But this requires clear rules about who's responsible for protecting information when it moves between services."

It was the second op-are from a Facebook executive this weekend. Sheryl Sandberg wrote in the New Zealand Herald that the company had to get better at policing its platform.

Sandberg said the company was considering restricting who can stream live video on its platform after the suspect in the New Zealand attack broadcast the massacre live on Facebook.

this is where it gets REALLY tricky. sure some stuff should not be online but who decides? personally I think social media should put these nuts in a 'sandbox' and have the NSA watch them... and arrest the super stupid ones.

NZ would HAVE NEVER happened.

be boring as fuck for 'the public' BUT this would git rid of LOTS of asshole for sure. and the thing is no fucking battle of the gun bullshit... that can be worked on when everybody has cool heads.

Facebook has an army of outsourced contractors doing moderation. 100% of the photos and video posted are screened.

He knows that smaller companies can't afford to screen everything and take action on all "inappropriate" content.

He is trying to regulate himself into a secured spot of future domination.

Because social media companies are the medium that delivers content?

The argument we are too busy to monitor what people are doing is stupid. Limit your business to what you can handle.

jezz87 · 03-31-2019, 02:58 AM

Nowadays, "harmful content" basically means "content we don't like"

Exactly!

It's like having a TV station and not being responsible for your broadcasts.

The EU is set to fine FB billions, U.S. the same, because he's not policing his content well.

So now he says the government should do it since they think FB is incompetent.

Sadly, corporate profits are lower because of fines and I created self policing so, to increase profits, put the Rask off to the government.

This is EXACTLY what China did years ago in the beginning stages of their police state.

Government left it to businesses, businesses failed to police adequately, government took over. Then you couldn't speak badly about the government.

Once business hands over the task to government, there's no going back we're fucked.

The blind leading the blind.

Facebook did/does dirty shit then blames it's users. They aren't in trouble because of the users. They're in trouble because they were wrongly selling and/or allowing access to user data. The BS about politics is just that B.S. Fuckerberg created Cambridge etc by showing the Obama campaign how to obtain and then utilize the data. From there Cambridge and others are born.

Problem, reaction, solution

Facebook created the problem, got the reaction and is now offering up the so called solution.

The real solution? Take down facebook..

What a dumb thing to say. If true the Governments of the day, Pre-Internet, would have stifled all news.

Those companies can only supply what the consumer most wants. So there will always be a place for those that supply individual, unique and specialist content.

The laws in China are not enforced that often, but at least you know where you are.
Here we are supposed to be in the "free world", then you find out that someone was sentenced to jail, because he said something [stupid] (in France at least).
We think we are the reference about what is acceptable or not, so we lecture the world (and china) about what they should do... until we do similar things ourselves...
