Munich, Germany (Merxwire) - The Security Conference in Munich, Germany has been opened. Mr Zuckerberg attended the conference on the 15th. He acknowledged that FB is an information content provider between newspapers and Telecom, and therefore must be subject to national supervision.
Mr Zuckerberg called for more regulation of harmful online content, but legal freedom of speech should not be determined by companies like FB.
Although Mr Zuckerberg believes that harmful online content needs to be regulated, he also warns that excessive control may stifle personal expression. FB is Social media giants. In recent years, more and more Social media, these companies are facing the problem of disseminating false information. FB's political advertising policies were particularly criticized.
