Opsamling på Facebooks vilde weekend
After an already busy week for the social media platform—including a lawsuitfrom the Department of Housing and Urban Development, as well as a policy changeregarding white nationalist and separationist content—five major Facebook stories broke over the last few days, including a Washington Postop-edin which CEO Mark Zuckerberg calls for the social network to be regulated.

Facebook overvejer område dedikeret til nyheder
Zuckerberg overvejer angiveligt også at ansætte redaktører til at hjælpe med udvælgelsen.
“We’re not going to have journalists making news,” said the social network boss, who explained the aim of the new feature would be to promote material produced by third parties. “What we want to do is make sure that this is a product that can get people high-quality news.”
Zuckerberg also said he is considering whether Facebook should start paying news publishers to include their articles in this news section in order to reward “high-quality, trustworthy content”.
