Mark Zuckerberg is clearly trying to guide the government to help address situations that he feels Facebook can’t really succeed at anymore, writes Therese Poletti.
Facebook Inc. co-founder and Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg is effectively begging for U.S. regulators to step in and give clear policies for internet data privacy and harmful content, a worthy request that still could be self-serving.
In March, Zuckerberg wrote an editorial in the Washington Post, in which he outlined four areas where regulation is needed: harmful content, election protection, privacy and data protection, and data portability. On Wednesday’s conference call, Zuckerberg said that the reason he wrote the editorial was because these are areas where it “doesn’t feel right for a private company to make such important policy decisions by ourselves.
So far, Facebook has been a Teflon company, with user growth, revenue and profit continuing to be strong despite a multitude of scandals. Nothing is certain though, especially with Facebook admitting that it is preparing for slower growth, FTC fines that have yet to be announced and government regulation.
