It follows the live-streaming on social media of the Christchurch terror attack in New Zealand, which was viewed 4,000 times before being removed.
Mr Zuckerberg, 34, said he believes new regulation is needed in four areas across the internet — harmful content, election integrity, privacy and “data portability”.
In a hard-hitting statement published by the Washington Post and on his own Facebook page, he said: “Every day we make decisions about what speech is harmful, what constitutes political advertising, and how to prevent sophisticated cyber attacks.
The Hollywood Reporter's David Rooney recognizes the risk associated with remaking a well-loved childhood gem, noting that Burton's track record for "summoning genuine emotion is patchy at best." He calls the picture "frustratingly uneven," with a "cluttered screenplay" and "thin characters that fail to exert much of a hold." Rooney writes that up until the end of the film, "the filmmaker's overstuffed visual imagination and appetite for sinister gloom all but trample the enchantment of a tale that, at heart, is simple and whimsical."
With regard to the screenplay, Rooney claims that a misstep was made in revealing the magical element of Dumbo's flight capabilities — his oversized ears that double as wings — too early, allowing for no build-up or surprise. He recognizes that there are many positive elements of the film, from production design to period costumes and gorgeous visuals, though he concludes that ultimately, Dumbo fails to tug at the heartstrings.
For Rolling Stone, Peter Travers highlights the work of character designer Michael Kutsche by noting that the "computerized Dumbo is a marvel of cuteness and technical wizardry who steals every scene he's in." He suggests that the gold standard of this work is undermined by the overcomplicated and predictable script. The critic goes on to praise the cinematography, production design, costumes and musical composition, but decides that the simple, sweet and safe tale fits Burton like a glove — too well.
In the Chicago Tribune, Michael Phillips notes that the film offers "less" of many things that the original had, such as wit, charm and songs. He offers a particular criticism of the writer, saying, "Over and over, the movie strands its central, dewy-eyed, flappy-eared pachyderm in a series of unfortunate narrative events dreamed up by screenwriter Ehren Kruger. The writer has been miscast. He brings the same light touch and airy whimsy he brought to three Transformerspictures." Phillips gives Dumbo 1.5 stars and ends with a hopeful look forward to the upcomingAladdin and Lion King remakes.
Mashable's Angie Han writes that the elephant is actually a supporting player in a jumble of interrelated storylines — such as a dad disappointing his children and a small business struggling in an industry dominated by big businesses, — but as the critic notes, those plot lines "never really take off." Han argues that none of the characters seem like real people, and that the film doesn't work as a whole, rather as a collection of "odd little moments." She praises Burton's depiction of Dreamland, suggesting that the pic could have used an extra dose of that pleasingly weird element to let it stand out.
