Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has asked for regulators globally to be more proactive in data privacy concerns. He said, regulating agencies could play a “more important role” in laying down the ground rules that ensure data privacy of social media participants, or users of any social media. This has come close on the heels of global criticism of FB for not handling user privacy correctly.
Last month in New Zealand, an attack on a mosque which was telecast live on FB for some time before it was taken off, raised very pertinent questions on users’ privacy. Even before that incident, FB has been under pressure for failing to adequately police content and protect user privacy on its platform. They have been promising a standardized approach for removing content that would help keep internet companies accountable.

It requires clear rules about who’s responsible for protecting information when it moves between services,” Zuckerberg wrote in a Washington Post article.
