Facebook is increasingly in a more compromised situation. With the passage of weeks and months, the American conglomerate is plunging into a hole of controversy, criticism and other problems. Now, to these problems the Government of the United Kingdom adds, that indicated recently in a report that the executives of Facebook, and Mark Zuckerberg, are a 'digital gangsters'.
The report, presented by the Digital Committee of Culture, Media and Sport of the United Kingdom, indicates that Facebook's social network should be regulated, and that the executives that control it are like digital gangsters. Thus, the Parliament of the United Kingdom has called for stricter regulation in terms of social networks, and especially with Mark Zuckerberg's network. And these statements are not surprising, considering that the American firm has already crossed the line of privacy too many times.
'Companies like Facebook should not be allowed to behave like digital gangs in the online environment believing they are above the law.
There needs to be a radical change in the balance of power between these platforms and the public, and the era of inadequate self-regulation must come to an end. Big technology companies should not be allowed to expand exponentially without restrictions or adequate regulatory oversight. '
