CEO Mark Zuckerberg says breaking up big tech won’t solve key issues over data privacy and antitrust concerns, but regulation could. At the Aspen Ideas Festival on Wednesday, Zuckerberg repeated calls for regulation of social media and policing online content. He said a good start would be the Honest Ads Act, co-written by presidential candidate Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., which would oversee election advertising. Laws on political ads, he acknowledged, are “very out of date.” He also defended Facebook’s acquisitions of WhatsApp and Instagram, insisting they did not stifle innovation.
