Apparently Zuckerberg annoyed Trump previously by kicking him off FaceBook. Apparently Trump said something along the lines of threatening that Zuckerberg would spend the rest of his life in prison. Citizens of the USA should be confident that they will only go to prison if they have broken the laws of the country, not offended the senior politician. By that one statement Trump was moving the country in the direction of Putin's Russia. It is called a dictatorship.
It is difficult to believe that any UK government would allow a situation where a foreign company of any kind, social media or ticketing, would be responsible for 50% of fraud of any kind. I use FB to keep in touch with family and friends but there appears to be a totally different FB available to people for news and gossip, including fake news and fraud. Is there anything people can do to prevent harmful content appearing on these platforms?
Yes of course there is. In Brazil, last August a senior judge said that Twitter was not complying with Brazilian law. They require a representative of a foreign company operating in Brazil to be resident in Brazil so they can punish him if the foreign company misbehaves. M**k ignored him initially, so Twitter became impossible to receive in Brazil. After 6 weeks M**k gave in. By the way president Lula was fully supportive of the judge and declared that noone was above the law!
