T3 | Wk 7 | Monday - Media Regulation - Meta and Big Tech


Do some research into current events concerning Meta.


1. What are they in trouble for? 

2. Who is holding them accountable?

3. What is NZ's response to Meta needing to take accountability for the platform? 

4. What sorts of reforms have there been and in what countries? 


What are your thoughts and reflections on this situation as it unfolds. How far do you think Big Tech should be held accountable? At what point should governments get involved with regulation? How does this example point to how tricky globalism makes regulation?
