I think Zuckerberg and Page should exercise their clout as a media moguls. Murdoch is scared of them. Also, Obama and Trump's Presidential victories show how a well coordinated social media campaign can win you the Presidency. Zuckerberg wants "to give people the power to build a global community that works for all of us." He should double down on that. You are right though.. Europe is really the only regulator we can rely on right now... but the global alt-right movement is trying to change that (see Steve Bannon in Europe).
- Fins 8y agoDo you seriously believe the generic PR-speak of "to give people the power to build a global community that works for all of us."?!
- sjg007 8y agoNo.. I think they should double down on strategies to curb fake news and misleading ads and adopt some rules similar to the Fairness doctrine.
- Fins 8y agoAnd what kind of strategies would those be? Never mind that I woud not trust anyone in SV to decide what is and is not "fake news". OK, not only in SV, but letting Facebook "curb faker news" and create an impression that the content there in any way decent sounds even worse than the status quo where you at least know that FB is a cesspit of depravity.
