Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg called for the governments of the world, especially Washington DC, to start regulating, filtering, and censoring the internet more than it does already. He laid out four points he believes must be handled by the government because his team has been unable to fully censor Facebook itself.
Zuckerberg backs Internet privacy and election laws: 'We need a more active role for governments' https://t.co/yZ4vap7WJe NO. Government, as usual, is the problem.

Zuckerberg said new regulations are needed to protect society from harmful content, ensure election integrity, protect people’s privacy and to guarantee data portability.
My Take
Don’t let his carefully processed words deceive you. Zuckerberg wants the internet to be a safe space where any “harmful” thoughts are not free to roam. What does he consider harmful? One need only look at what Facebook itself has policed over the years to know exactly who he’s targeting.
There will be the standard versions of “hate speech” and “illicit content” mingled into the calls for a government-run internet. But that also means anything considered to be disinformation would be included. On top of that, it means more of what we’re already seeing today: the unnecessary censorship of those who speak out on topics that leftists consider to be hateful. We see regularly when people get censored for speaking out against sharia law, abortion, and socialism. If you get governments even more involved, it’s going to get even worse.
The saddest part is that he closes the statement with a great argument to NOT enhance current laws or add more government:
The rules governing the internet allowed a generation of entrepreneurs to build services that changed the world and created a lot of value in people’s lives. It’s time to update these rules to define clear responsibilities for people, companies and governments going forward.
No, Mr. Zuckerberg, it’s not time to update the rules just because you’ve already made your fortune. The internet is already burdened with plenty of government interference. Adding more will not fix any problems, but will create more.
