What Zuckerberg Didn’t Say in His Op-Ed Calling for More Government Regulation
1st April 2019
Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg published an Op-Ed in the Washington Post over the weekend calling for greater government Internet regulation. Notably absent was any mention of breaking up the company. His implicit message: “one Facebook would be easier to control than lots of smaller competitors”. Fair enough, but we also wonder what Facebook has up its product development sleeve that allows it to so vocally call for increased regulation and the costs that will inevitably entail.
God save us from an Internet regulated according to the ideas of Mark Zuckerberg.
