After the tragic March events in Christchurch, Facebook received a lot of criticism and accusations from politicians and members of the public. Last Friday, Mark Zuckerberg arrived in Paris to meet with Emmanuel Macron, President of France, to discuss proposals for regulating social networks.
France has taken the initiative to develop common filtering rules for published content. So, according to the proposed concept, the state can take proactive and corrective measures, ensuring transparency of the work of state regulators. Social networks, in turn, must ensure the provision of information on methods of moderation of content, the rules for posting by users and guarantee transparency in compliance with the terms of the agreement with participants in social networks.
What do the parties think about it
Mark Zuckerberg agrees that this will ensure the coherence of actions and measures taken by the parties, as well as determine the responsibility of the owners of social networks for the implementation and observance of standards against the spread of aggressive and provocative content.
The head of state expressed hope that the final version of the new rules, approved as a result of cooperation, will become a working model for managing social networks for other countries.

Both parties agree that the proposed conditions within the framework of the future concept are more loyal than the laws of some states currently in force. For example, in 2017 in Germany, a bill was passed requiring censorship of extremist content.
Otherwise, the company will have to pay a heavy fine. And in April 2019, a law was approved in Austria, which stipulates the punishment of imprisonment for company executives if social networks do not remove aggressive and hateful content in a short time.
Than the future bill threatens users and owners of social networks
According to the preliminary concept, large media sites are required to remove or block users from accessing aggressive posts and comments within a day from the date of publication. In case of violation of this rule, the company will be obliged to pay a fine of up to 4% of the annual turnover.
The law also affects ordinary users: when filing a complaint about a particular posted information, you will have to provide your personal data.

Friday was rich in events related to Facebook. At the same time, the company sued Rankwave, a South Korean firm that is accused of illegally using the data.
New scandal
According to the case file, an analytical company from South Korea used at least 30 different applications to “track and analyze” user comments and likes on social network pages.
According to representatives of the plaintiff, Facebook has information that since 2014, Rankwave “has used the data for its own business purposes, including the provision of advisory services to advertisers and marketing companies.” Such actions contradict the terms of the user agreement of the social network, according to which such information can only be used to improve the application.
