Facebook will work with governments to determine what content is acceptable, said Mark Zuckerberg

The Executive Director of Facebook Inc. Mark ZuckerbergHe said his company would work with governments need to determine what content is acceptable on social media networks.

"Democracy works and that's why we want to work with the Macron government"said Zuckerberg. "It is our responsibility to make sure that hate speech is not in our products and servicesbut what seems important is that there must be a public process to determine what is unacceptable, what should not be in these networks and we will work with governments to do so. "

Facebook and other social media companies are facing increasing criticism in Europe and the United States about their handling of personal data, hate speech and vulnerability to manipulation. In March, Zuckerberg was forced to ask the government to regulate four major areas: harmful content, electoral integrity, confidentiality and data portability.

The report of the French government, which will serve as a basis for redefining the way in which France deals with hate speech, indicates that the new rules should empower social networks. "protect the integrity of its members, protect users from the abuses of other members and third-party attempts to manipulate the platform."

Zuckerberg made another publication after his meeting with Macron. "We both believe that governments should play a more active role on important issues such as the balance between expression and security, the confidentiality and portability of data and the prevention of interference in elections, "he wrote. "You have to make nuanced decisions here, for example, how to manage content that is not illegal but can cause harm."
