Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's cry for stricter internet regulation, including widespread adoption of European-style rules, has left some privacy advocates in Europe unimpressed.
div > div.group > p:first-child"> In a Washington Post op-ed and blog post published Saturday, Zuckerberg laid out four areas of the internet that require a"more active role for governments and regulators." One area, he said, is a common framework for comprehensive privacy regulation such as GDPR , the EU's sweeping set of rules that went into effect last May.
Any company that does business in the European Union must meet GDPR's standards, or it risks facing strict fines of up to 4 percent of global annual revenues. Facebook is no exception. Some experts say it's easier for big tech companies with deep pockets to meet GDPR's standards than smaller start-ups.
