Jack Ma, the billionaire co-founder of Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba, urged Mark Zuckerberg to tackle the growing criticism aimed at Facebook Inc by regulators and users around the world, and “really take it seriously.” 

China’s richest man and chairman of Alibaba Group Holding Ltd on April 9 weighed in on the controversy, calling on his fellow Internet pioneer to “fix” a social network that had grown explosively over the past decade and a half. Asked at the Boao Forum about the Facebook furore, the billionaire started dismissing questions but then couldn’t help opining on the crisis facing the US company.
