This year I'm hosting a series of discussions about the future of technology and society. This time I sat down with Mathias Döpfner in Berlin. He started his career as a journalist and he's now the CEO of Axel Springer, the largest publisher in Europe.

We talked about the role quality journalism plays in building informed communities and the principles Facebook should use for building a news tab to surface more high quality news, including the business model and ecosystem to support it. We also discussed the privacy-focused vision I laid out for the future of social networking and the four ideas for internet regulation I published this weekend.

These are important topics and I could have spent hours talking to Mathias about them. It's important to me that we help people get trustworthy news and find solutions that help journalists around the world do their important work.

Dear Mark, I was born to be a musician and composer. I lost half of my hearing and it took me twenty years to learn how to hear again. When I got involved with creating a Facebook account, I soon realized I could network with musicians around the world and do third party recordings as a result. I recreated myself as the musician I always wanted to be and twenty albums later, I'm living the dream. I even created a filmscore for a movie that made it to the Cannes Film Festival in 2018 and won Best Drama at the Hollywood International Moving Pictures Film Festival and the Los Angeles International Film Festival. Without Facebook, none of this would have happened. Thank you, kind soul.

Come to the Philippines and let’s talk about how Facebook makes it difficult for journalists now to perform their job as people continue to access, and believe in disinformation in your platform.

Journalism in the pre-internet era made it the Fourth pillar of democracy and since people could get to know about happening news/info only through newspapers or television, journalism and journalists played an important role in governance; post the internet, news/info/fake news reached the user a tad faster but post-smartphones, info/fake news reaches the citizen as soon as an event happens and then becomes news, meaning that governance gets into a reactive mode as governments don't have any way of controlling information to dictate or manouevre public opinion as per its vision/strategy and with the omnipotence of the social media platforms like Facebook, governments, alas, are like relics struggling with how to make the wheels roll, while their people are flying at warp speed.

Gosh! I could be interviewed by Mark Zuckerberg for this lecture 🤫

I am very grateful and thankful for your peerless effort and success to bring the world a small village through social networking platform. I do not get married and have kids yet but my sisters dose this by itself allows me to observe and noticed kids at different age exposed to the word face book amazingly some time this goes beyond what we think and believe regarding their great interest to being a part of it .

I am well aware that your company rules and regulations dose not entertain them to Creat and hold account .But according to my observations kids break the rule and wants to sit and follow what their parents follow through in their Facebook pages.These days kids receive their elders or parents smart phone and unlock and access many application easily and may be exposed to see video and written article which we many believe not helpful for them. This thing always take me to think that Facebook owner can bring a Solution to socialize our kids to the world at early age in way that help them to develop their communication skill through share knowledge,experience culture languages history,art and extra curriculum activities at large with different parts of the world.Thinking and designed it that they should not spent to much of their time on it and control it to works only weekends with special parental Guidance or control. Thanks for your time Mark ZuckerbergCEO of Facebook.
N.B very much eager to hear from you well respected and known pearl of the world.

Mr. Mark, Facebook should establish that once a certain percentage of the content is deemed false or based on fake news or stories, the page is suspended, keep it up and the account will be deleted from the platform completely.

I disagree with Mr Springer about curation. I think Facebook will have to curate to some degree because otherwise they will have difficulties if fake stories get widespread coverage. Untrue gossip spreads like wildfire among friends and without curation Facebook will be blamed because such stories go even faster on the internet.

Keep being awesome Mark to support successful people from junior to senior generations in various fields and journalism is one of the examples of it. Welcome Mathias Dopfner, the CEO of Axel Springer, the largest publisher in Europe to be hosted by Mark. Journalism plays and building models with quality news are parts of the topic to talk during the discussion. I am pretty sure it must be important topics to discuss in order to expand Facebook into the largest on line population. That's why it could have spent hours to discuss about these. Well, future technology and society must be developed because they grow rapidly everyday and we live in the 21st Century now so we can't be behind to know more about the future technology and society that must be pretty cool. Get many nice moments Mark and have lots of fun to pass all the hard things.

What about all the digital media publishers on Facebook that were completely wiped out last year?

We spent years paying Facebook to build our followings, and our fans loved us and our content, but one day Facebook decided that phase was over. Why should any publisher trust Facebook again?

You should now do these types of talk very often because it helps us to understand what Facebook thinks about issues affecting the platform as a whole. It reinforces trust and clears out many of the misconceptions out there. Thanks for doing this!

Thanks for reminding Jan Kuciak. He sacrificed the highest value.

I believe Facebook will play greater role in fighting conspiracy news that just spread violence and hate.

We’ve experienced this a lot during the recent presidential elections you also mentioned.

I can tell how this kind of content divides and polarizes our but also any other societies.

Please do something about it!

This is wonderful thought Mark. You had an idea, circumstances were good, and God was kind. See where you are now, and though many of us say otherwise, Face Book is now integral to our lives. In a life time to have achieved this success is indeed God's blessing as also realization that having been born an American came with that. Freedom, respect for freedom, what leads to happiness and other related thoughts are indeed a pleasure given to haves and have nots struggle. This is true. But in all this the basic that a lot of what is achieved in US does not reach the American. That in itself will destabilize the base. Give it a thought. In fact think through your entire philosophy of life. Perhaps inputs and guidance here may help you achieve much more and give you the joy to invest in strengthening the infrastructure and creating the environment here in US. Good luck. Keep up the good work only reorient the direction.

You Go my brother this is very important information to the society and also how the society prepares themselves for the 4th Industrial Revolution because it is here and it is not going anywhere and we must just adapt to the tidal wave.In the near future we will have Facebook in our own Mother language it's coming soon. That's the Power of the Modern Technology.
