Facebook's CEO Mark Zuckerberg says that coming regulations from European Union, designed to rein in American and Chinese tech giants, are going to stifle innovation and freedom of expression
BRUSSELS - Facebook warned of threats to innovation and freedom of expression on Monday, ahead of the release of a raft of rules by the European Union this week and in the coming months to rein in U.S. and Chinese tech companies.
Vestager and Breton are due to announce proposals on Wednesday aimed at exploiting the bloc’s trove of industrial data and challenging the dominance of Facebook, Google and Amazon. “Such liability would stifle innovation as well as individuals’ freedom of expression,” it said in its discussion document.
