Seem like as good a starting point for a discussion as anything, although you have to wonder what set of policies the Facebook-is-literally-cancer crowd would actually be happy with.
As summarized by the BBC, calling for the following things:
* Common rules that all social media sites need to adhere to, enforced by third-party bodies, to control the spread of harmful content
* All major tech companies to release a transparency report every three months, to put it on a par with financial reporting
* Stronger laws around the world to protect the integrity of elections, with common standards for all websites to identify political actors
* Laws that not only apply to candidates and elections, but also other "divisive political issues", and for laws to apply outside of official campaign periods
* New industry-wide standards to control how political campaigns use data to target voters online
* More countries to adopt privacy laws like the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which came into force last year
* A "common global framework" that means these laws are all standardised globally, rather than being substantially different from country to country
* Clear rules about who's responsible for protecting people's data when they move it from one service to another
