NEW YORK and SAN FRANCISCO: Microsoft Corp President and Chief Legal Officer Brad Smith said on Friday that U.S. tech companies will change how they moderate online platforms in response to new laws from foreign governments, regardless of whether U.S. lawmakers take action.

"The laws around the world are going to change, and because technology is so global, American companies will adopt a new approach even if the United States Congress does nothing," he said. Smith spoke to Reuters as part of a tour to promote his recently released book,"Tools and Weapons." Technology companies, he said, should have a"new level of responsibility" for what is said on their sites.Smith, who was promoted to Microsoft president in 2015, the first time the company had filled the role in more than a decade, has since become the company's public face on controversial intersections between technology and society.

"We won't sell facial recognition services for the purposes of mass surveillance anywhere in the world," he said.
