Zuckerberg Testimony Step in Right Direction for Regulation

While there were no real fireworks following Mark Zuckerberg’s testimony of a security breach at Facebook, there were still benefits of the trial, according to social media expert and Newhouse assistant professor of communication, Jennifer Grygiel. Grygiel spoke with AFP and CBS News about what can be taken away from this testimony.

It’s an “an important milestone,” Grygiel said. “This is a first step in the process of writing much needed regulation. It is clear from congressional testimony that self-regulation alone is not working and that regulatory oversight is needed in the United States in order to ensure safe social media.”
