mr. zuckerberg was saying it is about transparency and he is in favor of some government regulation of transparency. to see ainteresting trend in the direction of social media companies supporting government regulations. that is because they have felt like they've been under intense criticism for a long period of time when they tried to moderate content and they would like rules of the road to help them understand exactly what government once out of them. you saw both companies calling today for regulation. a better appeals process, more transparency, they would like to see regulation that would make that possible. for instance, in order for companies to be able to share more information with researchers and others, companies will need to have protections once they share that information. facebook might share data with the researcher at cambridge ended up in a massive scandal that resulted in significant fines and changes to the company's business practices. in order to facilitate sharing data with researchers, lawmakers need to make that possible and there might be more momentum in that direction.
