Mark Zuckerberg: The Internet needs new rules. Let’s start in these four areas.
The Washington Post
7 min read · From 2019 · In an op-ed published by The Washington Post, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg calls for internet regulation in four areas. Perhaps he is pressing ahead to shape inevitable regulation in his company’s favor, or maybe he wants to ensure that others face the same scrutiny as his prominent platform does. Some commentators have accused Zuckerberg of trying to outsource the costs and responsibility for protecting the public from potential misuses of his platform. Regardless of his motives, Zuckerberg’s proposal for a new regulatory framework constitutes a sensible starting point for discussing the future of internet governance.

How to fix Facebook—before it fixes us
Washington Monthly
20+ min read · From 2018 · Brexit and the 2016 surprise victory of US president Donald Trump alarmed Roger McNamee, a technology investor and early mentor to Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. McNamee noticed how organized political operatives were exploiting the Facebook platform to spread negative attention grabbing content, influence voters and affect voting outcomes. For McNamee, the platform’s flawed business model, its monopolistic market position and the lack of government regulation have turned the formerly innocent social networking site into a threat to democracy. He shares his concerns and suggests remedies in an in-depth piece in the Washington Monthly, which getAbstract recommends to policy makers and citizen activists.
