Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg warned against the spread of China's internet regulation model, saying it disregards human rights, during an online debate with the EU's Internal Market Commissioner Thierry Breton on Monday.
Since the pandemic hit, Zuckerberg has tried to rebrand Facebook as a responsible actor willing to help communities by proactively fighting disinformation, helping SMEs with a $100 million grant program and providing funding to local newspapers affected by the crisis.Zuckerberg’s plans for platform regulation when they first met in February, the tone has slightly shifted since.
“The question is whose [regulatory] framework is going to win around the world,” Zuckerberg said, opposing a Western, democratic model against China’s. “That’s going to get decided in the next five to 10 years. A lot of other countries are looking at China and the companies coming out of there. The two men are no strangers: They had already met in Brussels in February, when Zuckerberg came to present his plans for platform regulation to Commission powerhouses, including Executive Vice President for Digital Margrethe Vestager and VP for Values and Transparency Věra Jourová.
GreatFireChina I don't think Zuckerberg would have made the comments he did today if the Chinese government had given permission for FACE BOOK to enter China
Chinese Internet needs more freedom. It should respect the needs to access free Internet content.
Why is everyone pussyfooting around the truth Who in the world believes this virus thing really truly is an accident?!
He should talk with his practices of censorship if the conservative values . He got a gang of Muslims censoring everything but they get on there saying things like it’s OZk for them to take anything belonging to Christians . Makes me angry .
Mark Zuckerberg has been an enemy of democracy for quite some time now.
As unregulated Facebook ruins lives everyday.
Um hum. I don't trust this dude.
Can most agree that Facebook, Twitter and essentially all social media has been a horrible thing to happen?
Omg this cyborg lies like a rug
He speaks with a fork tongue!!!
Don’t you think that appointing an extremist who advocates jehad to the overseen committee will push the ME governments to regulate your platform?
FB was fine 5 billion, cause of stealing personal information 🤮
Zuckerberg and Facebook type of internet is more dangerous to human rights. Both of them single handedly put tyrants as heads of states.
You can't trust this fool any more than China

News to you?
What’s in it for him? Must be something.
🤑 is all I ever hear from this guy.
Does he mean banning conservatives? Seems like a commie move to me Zuck
Lol. Poor Mark.🙄
I’d say the lack of regards for human rights is the least of China’s problems tight now
Why are you not calling his position 'racist'? As Biden said 'he didnt dostinguish between the government and the people'. Biden calling 45 racist
Facebook does not respect human rights. Inside or outside of China.
Mark Zuckerberg is going to protect us from dangerous internet practices? His shamelessness is appropriate for the era, I guess.
finkd Shud up already. Play ProjectLincoln on Facebook. Otherwise, you are 2 faced.
I know good and damn well he didn’t have the audacity to say he’s worried about human rights. Boy stop.
FACEBOOK wants the US monopoly on consumer internet spying?
I worry about what facebook did to society and what you're still up to finkd
You mean when AI warns people on twitter or YouTube shadow blocks videos or out right removes them? You mean that model Mark?!? alreadyhappening
Apparently anything that could hurt Facebook profits “disregards human rights” You know what disregards human rights? Rampart fake news in Myanmar that led to the genocide of the rohingya. You know what else disregards human rights? Rampart fake shit on WhatsApp.
Bullshit lip service to hide his authoritarian inclinations
I despise him greatly.
