Facebook chief wants 'more active' govt role regulating internet
Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg has called for governments to play a "more active role" in regulating the internet, urging more countries to adopt versions of sweeping European rules aimed at safeguarding user privacy. Facebook and other internet giants have long resisted government intervention, but the leading social network has reversed course amid growing calls for regulation, in an apparent bid to help steer the debate. "I believe we need a more active role for governments and regulators," Zuckerberg wrote in an op-ed published in The Washington Post Saturday.
