Zuckerberg: Regulate Big Tech

[ancianita]

Reuters reports that Zuckerberg said Facebook is already employing 35,000 people to review online content and implement security measures.

Those teams and Facebook's automated technology currently suspend more than 1 million fake accounts each day, he said, adding that 'the vast majority are detected within minutes of signing up.

The question to me is, why ask now to be regulated by right leaning autocratic governments?
Big Tech regulation is fine, except when it's by
a) corporate fascists
b) corporate-captured government.

Some fun context stats.

1. With one pile of money he enables and supports a wannabe dick tater

And with another pile of money he calls for regulation.

The filthy rich, abusing the vast amounts of stolen loot we let them keep.

There's nothing like letting a pack of irresponsible, out of touch, bald white men control wealth and power they did not work for.

2. Warren, in more transactional terms, says pretty much the same thing. I'd trust her regulations.

3. If MZ were serious about the right gov partner, he'd donate to Elizabeth Warren, just to get

someone smart enough to work with beyond this dopes-and-babies administration.
