Zuckerberg's ideas, published in a Washington Post op-ed, illustrate how anxious Facebook is to get a seat at the table as lawmakers hash out potential legislation that will affect its core business. Facebook and its Silicon Valley peers haven't been the target of serious US regulation. But the landscape has shifted greatly since Zuckerberg claimed it was "crazy" to think fake news on Facebook affected the results of the 2016 US presidential election.

Zuckerberg took a conciliatory tone when he visited Washington a year ago. He agreed "in principle" that regulation might be needed, but hesitated, saying "details matter." Still, scandal after scandal has hit the network. The latest: a white terrorist used Facebook Live, a streaming video tool, to broadcast part of the murders of 50 Muslims in New Zealand.
