shouldn t be regulated. i actually think the question is more what is the right regulation rather than yes or no, should it be regulated. what s the right regulation? well, there are some basic things that i think there are some big intellectual debates on. on the basic side, there are things like ads transparency regulation that i would love to see. if you look at how much regulation there is around advertising on tv and print, it s just not clear why there should be less on the internet. okay. so, dennis, when it comes to regulation, what would more regulation mean for facebook? can you imagine cigarette labels being on facebook and surgeon general warnings about your data may be used in certain ways? i don t think that really solves the problem. look at what happened with microsoft and the regulation they had 20 years ago about trying to bust up windows. of course, facebook doesn t want to be regulated, so that s an impossible question for mark can t say, i don t want to

right. what s he going to do, share his algorithms or share the data he has with the government? something has to happen. something must be done just like gdpr. like he said, there s no clear answer. speaking of algorithms, with all this data mining of me, i feel like every little fingerprint, digital like algorithm swirling around my head. is it that bad? are they looking and breathing down our necks with everything we do? feels liken am i of the state minority report. look how much amazon has or visa. think about alexa in your home listening to the commands you have. this facebook thing is just the girchi gir beginning of data issues where consumers are willing to trade privacy for convenience. how do you think facebook is doing overall owning up to this? i think it s a weak apology. i think there is a lot more they can do. how else they didn t have a data breach so they re real clear saying there wasn t a security scandal. it was a breach of trust that mark said. he re
i can do for a dollar a day to push out our messages. the stuff about cambridge using data from three or four years to go to upload to facebook isn t technically possible. facebook didn t educate us that wasn t possible. it looks like they re hiding stuff and doing this p.r. cover up. facebook has actually been doing the right thing this whole time. interesting. what about the #delete facebook george and i have been talking about? delete, not delete. is that having an impact? i think that facebook will lose 1 or 2% of their users and it s going to be like delete uber, or it s going to be like united airlines every six months something bad happens. but are people really stopping using the airline? people are still going to be on facebook. they re going to get mad but are they going to leave? their friends are there. there is a push now for more government relg lags. we even hear from the ceo of facebook that he seems to be open to it as he told our laurie siegl. listen to th
