According to a committee from the United Kingdom, Facebook should be banned from controlling itself, and suggests that the control of the company should go to government.
The Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee of the UK Parliament he published its final report after 18 months researchs on Facebook and the company's privacy practices.
New report lays the groundwork for upcoming legislation that could take full control from Facebook's CEO. According to the research findings:
"Our research over the past year has identified three major threats to our society," said Damian Collins, chairman of the DCMS commission that conducted the research.
"The challenge for next year is to start fixing things. We can not be late anymore. ”
Facebook Democracy is in danger
The committee was highly critical of Facebook CEO and founder Mark Zuckerberg, who publicly denied it requests to answer questions from committee members, according to the report.
"Even if Mark Zuckerberg "He does not believe he is accountable to the British Parliament, he is accountable to the billions of Facebook users around the world," the commission said in a statement.
"Mark Zuckerberg constantly fails to show the necessary levels of leadership and personal responsibility expected of someone sitting at the top of one of the largest companies in the world."
"Democracy is threatened by the malicious and relentless targeting of citizens with misinformation and personalized dark advertising from inappropriate sources provided through the large social networking platforms we use every day," Collins said.
