Mr Zuckerberg wants more outside regulation of the net and says he's ready to discuss his ideas 'with lawmakers around the world'.

"One idea is for third-party bodies to set standards governing the distribution of harmful content and measure companies against those standards," said Mr Zuckerberg.

The site now displays a message saying who paid for the ad, while anyone wishing to advertise has to prove their identity and location. "We believe legislation should be updated to reflect the reality of the threats and set standards for the whole industry," he said.Internet companies should publish quarterly reports on removing harmful content, says Facebook's bossHe used the EU's General Data Protection Regulation as an example of a template for a potential worldwide standard.

"I also believe a common global framework - rather than regulation that varies significantly by country and state - will ensure that the internet does not get fractured, entrepreneurs can build products that serve everyone, and everyone gets the same protections," said Mr Zuckerberg.

Just end Facebook and end advertising

To much control already, I’ll be leaving social media. We are not mushrooms despite government and media attempts to make us so!

Facebook are assholes ..they are now banning people 4 the most ridiculous things yet this asshole company still allowed that mass shooting in new Zealand to be shown n shared..they have facilitated paedophilia n extreme islam to flourish ..

He looks like a freak

It’s abdication of responsibility to govts and therefore taxpayers because they’ve lost control and r worried about their profits. Regulate FB etc as publishers.

exactely: ban facefook! //

The global database is complete

This Idiot has blood of his Hands ...Prison for this Weasel.

Another trick to try to enforce his dirty ideological views to the whole internet. If Facebook does it alone it will loose lots of users.

These are not the droids you are looking for.

Is this a step in the direction of China levels of censorship? mmc4300

Social media is the new town square and no longer a private affair. Freedom of speech should be at the core center.

Time for people to leave facebook!!!!!!!

Alternatively he could take a little more responsibility for what goes on his site and use some of his billions to remove it. You have to admire his chutzpah I suppose, calling on govt to pay for the non profit making aspect of his business.

Facebook boss?!

Fuckerburg and the MSM will never silence dissenters. Facts!! you lot seem to overlook.

These big corporations have too much power and need breaking up ASAP.
