Facebook is “open to meaningful regulation”, it said on February 18 after British lawmakers said that big technology companies should be subject to a compulsory code of ethics to tackle the spread of fake news and abuse of users’ data.

He added that Facebook is “not the same company” it was a year ago and had already made substantial changes to its procedures.
