Perhaps it was a simple reason for WeshalbFacebook chief Mark Zuckerberg to finally agree to make meeting with DenFraktionsspitzen of European Parliament public. Instead of JedemAbgeordneten question and answer as it did Zuckerberg before US Congress, Formuliertendie European representatives and representatives on Tuesday evening in Brussels Alleihre questions one after or. Only at end, when planned were only 15 minutes left, Zuckerberg gave some selected answers. This format was promised to President of EU Parliament, Antonio Tajani, Facebook, twittered DerGrünen spokesman Sven Giegold. And of course, Zuckerberg helped to evade uneasy things.

The result was a remarkable, yes BizarreVeranstaltung. A dozen politicians from all political groups had about five minutes to ask ir questions. Zuckerberg wrote diligently, asked once politely, and answered at end in 30 minutes – almost nothing. At least nothing that had not been said almost verbatim before. Demands? No chance. Instead, Zuckerberg ended meeting practically even with a from US Congress only too well-known phrase: “We deliver rest Schriftlichnach.”
The European Parliament has proved to be a disservice with unusual format. For weeks, representatives had tried to invite Zuckerberg to Europe. He should explain once again before EuropäischenPolitikern how data scandal of Cambridge Analytica came about, what changes Facebook has made with regard to data protection Grundverordnungtrifft that enters into force on Friday, and how it is actually its own Responsibility. “We need new rules for social networks,” said Tajani in his introductory statement.

In contrast to American deputies, Diein lengthy ten-hour hearing above all gave ir own ignorance, MEPs were better prepared. Except for some skewed literarischeVergleiche and assertion of EU SkeptikersNigel Farage, Facebook’s algorithm oppresses conservative voices, Bezogensich many questions on important aspects.

Guy Verhofstadt of Liberal group ALDE, for example, went to subject of regulation. In past few years, Zuckerberg has certainly apologized for 15 times in public. It is refore necessary to ask oneself wher re is any control over his company and wher self-regulation häufiggenannte by him is functioning. “Even banks said in DerFinanzkrise that y would regulate mselves, which y did not getanhaben,” said Verhofstadt. He also wanted to know if Facebook would cooperate with European competition judges – and if it was an option to split Facebook and messenger or Instagram, say smash Facebook.

After high penalties for Google and Microsoft, last Jahrauch Facebook had to pay 110 million euros because EU looked deceived by takeover of messenger WhatsApp. The incumbent EU-WettbewerbskommissarinMargre Vestager applies to alsharte critics of technology groups and regulation in Europe KönnteFacebook sensitive.
Zuckerberg gave way to concrete questions: “I think question is not wher or not to regulate. But how to make Esrichtig “, also with regard to development of start-ups. He does not see Facebook as a monopoly, because Gefühltjeden Day will be a new competitor with millions of users. The social network must refore continue to evolve.
