Zuckerberg called for redesigning the rules of the Internet and a global regulation

In a column published this Sunday in his official report and in several newspapers around the world, Zuckerberg – who has been involved in a controversy in recent years over issues of privacy and manipulation of his social network – called for "redo the rules for the Internet to guarantee quality".

"We need a more active role of governments and regulations"Zuckerberg badured, and gave as an example the new European regulation on data protection.

In his opinion, you can not expect a private company that must evaluate the political content and even decide if it should be blocked.

"If we started today from the beginning, we would not expect a company to make those decisions itself," he added.

A political settlement in this area could be the basic framework on which companies could evolve, explained the founder of the largest social network.

This regulation, he continued, must be general to be effective, so that the different social networks and applications with which the content can be shared must respect the same rules.

"One idea would be for independent organizations to set standards for measuring business compliance," he said. "One idea would be for independent organizations to set standards for measuring business compliance," he said.

In the field of political information Facebook has already introduced "significant changes" following scandals such as the last presidential election in the United States, he said, but considers that "missing unity standards" can measure all networks with the same criterion.

Governments should punish offenses, he added, because Facebook can veto an actor, but only governments are able to "impose real sanctions."

The column was published in the US "Washington Post", in the German "Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung", in the British "Sunday Independent" and in the French "Journal du Dimanche", the EFE news agency reported.
