After latest scandal, does Facebook need to be regulated?

Facebook has been on the defensive since a New York Times investigation found it had hired a consulting firm--founded by Republican operatives--to push negative stories about its critics. Among them: liberal billionaire George Soros, a favorite target of far-right conspiracy theorists. John Yang speaks with the Wilson Center's Nina Jankowicz about whether social media needs to be regulated.
