PARIS - Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg on Friday said he was"encouraged" and"optimistic" about the regulatory framework being suggested by France for the social media giant and other online platforms, after a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron.
The report called"Creating a French Response to Make Social Media Responsible" has been submitted to France's digital ministry. The report said that the response by big social media groups like Facebook to abuses and disinformation too often came after the fact and when damage was already done. The report proposes a regulatory authority in each EU member state, rather than relying on regulation of them in the countries where they are based.
Chris Hughes, a co-founder of Facebook, wrote in an editorial published in The New York Times on Thursday that the company should be dismantled.
