His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F.

And ads that made some rather personal assumptions, like for engagement rings (which I did not click on).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The file is chock-full of goodies: all the selfies with the ex-girlfriend, the self-promotional posts, and the inane comments I decided to share with the world.

"content": "\u003cp>[dropcap]L[/dropcap]egally, you are largely responsible for your own online privacy in the United States. Last year, for instance, a federal judge in San Jose \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/jul/03/facebook-track-browsing-history-california-lawsuit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dismissed a lawsuit\u003c/a> accusing Facebook of tracking users' web browsing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. District Judge Edward Davila dismissed the case because he said the plaintiffs failed to show they had a reasonable expectation of privacy and couldn't prove that they suffered from any harm or loss. The plaintiffs could have taken steps to keep their browsing histories private, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the most recent Facebook scandal has been described as a \"breach\" or \"hack,\" it's important to note that University of Cambridge professor Aleksandr Kogan was not gaining unauthorized access when he gathered user data and sold it to Cambridge Analytica. At the time it was totally legal and within Facebook's terms of service for Kogan to gather such data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.theverge.com/2018/3/20/17142806/how-to-delete-facebook-page-account-data-privacy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Deleting Facebook\u003c/a> or \u003ca href=\"https://techcrunch.com/2018/03/27/mozillas-new-extension-keeps-your-facebook-data-isolated-to-the-social-network-itself/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">walling off\u003c/a> some of its trackers could certainly protect you from their data collection. But the truth is almost every click and scroll we make is tracked. And it's not just on your computer. \u003ca href=\"https://theconversation.com/7-in-10-smartphone-apps-share-your-data-with-third-party-services-72404\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A study\u003c/a> from last year concluded that 70 percent of smartphone apps send personal data to third-party tracking companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So here are a few ways to protect your data (and your friends') online.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Step 1: Know when you're agreeing to give your data away\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The first place you usually give away the rights to your data is in the terms of service of a site or app. The services and apps you sign up for often ask permission before accessing your personal information. Sometimes, this makes a lot of sense. For instance, you can't talk to Siri unless you give her access to your microphone, and Google Maps doesn't work nearly as well without access to your GPS.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But often, you are also agreeing for those sites and apps to pass on your data to brokers, marketers, etc. And it's not just Facebook. The terms of service for \u003ca href=\"https://theoutline.com/post/3820/make-sure-you-delete-these-profiles-too?zd=2&zi=3ndpcio2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google, Amazon and Twitter\u003c/a> all contain clauses allowing them to collect your data and pass it on to third parties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Your phone also provides a huge amount of data. A \u003ca href=\"https://theoutline.com/post/3820/make-sure-you-delete-these-profiles-too?zd=2&zi=3ndpcio2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">recent study\u003c/a> estimated that 70 percent of smartphone apps pass on your information to third parties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, you could just \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/03/technology/personaltech/how-to-protect-your-privacy-as-more-apps-harvest-your-data.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">opt out\u003c/a> of services that suggest your data could be shared with a third party. But it's hard when many of us need to use certain apps to do our jobs or even do something basic like \u003ca href=\"https://slate.com/technology/2018/03/dont-deletefacebook-thats-not-good-enough.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">access the internet\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Step 2: Manage who has your data\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>What is possible, and important, is to know how apps are using your data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Facebook, for instance, you can go to Settings > Apps > Logged in. You can delete apps that you don't use, and then Facebook will no longer provide them with information about your activities on the site. But if you want the app developers to delete the data they've already gathered, you'll need to ask each of them individually to do so. If you use your Facebook account on a lot of other websites and want to disconnect, you can do that by going to Settings > Apps > Apps, Website and Plugins, then click Edit and disable it. Some apps use your Facebook login as a way of proving who you are, so be aware that fully disabling this kind of connection, called API sharing, can stop you from using certain dating apps, for instance. Also, you can check out what data Facebook has on you \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/help/131112897028467\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>WhatsApp users can just turn their data sharing off. Go into your Account and uncheck the \"Share my account info\" button. There's currently no way to turn off data sharing on Instagram.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can see what third-party apps are using your Google data \u003ca href=\"https://myaccount.google.com/permissions?pli=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here\u003c/a>. If you're logged into Google, go to My Account > Personal info & privacy > \u003ca href=\"https://myaccount.google.com/privacy#activity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Manage your Google\u003c/a> activity to see what data are saved to your account, your location history, voice activity and more. If you've used Google to log in to other websites you can manage that \u003ca href=\"https://profiles.google.com/connectedaccounts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here\u003c/a>. And you can see what data Google has already collected on you \u003ca href=\"https://takeout.google.com/settings/takeout\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you're using an iPhone you can go to Settings > Privacy to see what services apps are accessing. If you're using an Android phone, you can manage most preferences using Google's \u003ca href=\"https://myaccount.google.com/privacy#activity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">activity manager\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Step 3: Tracking (and blocking) the trackers\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>But apps are far from the only things tracking you and collecting your data online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Let's consider that lawsuit again, where plaintiffs sued Facebook for tracking which websites they went to on their browsers. Many websites, including KQED's, track your browsing history by placing cookies on your computer, which store little bits of information about how you use the website. They often store information like your browser type, preferences, location, etc. Often, cookies are an essential part of what makes a website easily usable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But cookies can also be used to track all of your actions on a certain website, which allows companies to build a profile of you. Those companies can \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2016/07/11/485571291/firms-are-buying-sharing-your-online-info-what-can-you-do-about-it\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sell that data\u003c/a> to advertising agencies. Have you ever looked at a pair of shoes and then had ads for those shoes follow you all over the internet? That's because of cookies and data brokers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, there are a lot of ways to track cookies or other tracking scripts. That's one reason the judge ruled in favor of Facebook, saying that the plaintiffs could have taken steps to block their browsing history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two popular tools that you can add to your browser to view or disable trackers are \u003ca href=\"https://www.eff.org/privacybadger\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PrivacyBadger\u003c/a> and UBlock Origin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PrivacyBadger uses a series of color-coded sliders to let you manage what types of trackers a site can use. It was built by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a digital civil liberties organization. It works on Chrome, Firefox and Opera.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>uBlock Origin comes with a set of script-blocking lists. It works on \u003ca href=\"https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublock-origin/cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chrome\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Firefox\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://github.com/el1t/uBlock-Safari\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Safari\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://addons.opera.com/en-gb/extensions/details/ublock/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Opera\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://adblockplus.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AdBlock Plus\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://noscript.net/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NoScript\u003c/a> are also popular.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can also opt out of cookies. People in the U.S. can use this service by the \u003ca href=\"http://optout.aboutads.info/?c=2#!/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Digital Advertising Alliance\u003c/a>. Most browsers also let you disable third-party cookies in the Settings menu.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Academics have also built \u003ca href=\"https://www.fastcompany.com/40407424/smartphone-apps-are-tracking-you-and-heres-how-to-monitor-what-they-know\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">two apps\u003c/a> that you can use on your phone to examine and manage what data are being sent out into the world. \u003ca href=\"https://recon.meddle.mobi/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ReCon\u003c/a> works on iOS and Android. \u003ca href=\"https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=edu.berkeley.icsi.haystack\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lumen Privacy Monitor\u003c/a> only works on Android.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Some of this could change\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In the end the only way to ensure total online privacy is to swear off the internet. But that could change through strict regulation of how companies harvest and handle user data. The European Union is moving in this direction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In May, the EU's \u003ca href=\"https://www.eugdpr.org/the-regulation.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">General Data Protection Regulation\u003c/a> will go into effect, \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnet.com/how-to/gdpr-eu-general-data-protection-regulation-explained/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">changing\u003c/a> how companies can collect, store and process user data. Because the law applies to any organization that collects or manages the information of European Union citizens, companies like Facebook, Apple, Amazon and Google all need to comply. Some companies are \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnet.com/how-to/gdpr-eu-general-data-protection-regulation-explained/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">already rolling out new privacy management tools\u003c/a> in response to the law, like Apple.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mark Zuckerberg also faced \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2018/04/10/could-european-privacy-rules-save-facebooks-zuckerberg-from-a-senate-grilling/?utm_term=.a9781cae23c9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a lot of questions\u003c/a> about possible regulations during his testimony before the congressional committees. Last fall, Sens. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minnesota, Mark Warner, D-Virginia, and John McCain, R-Arizona, introduced the Honest Ads Act, which would regulate online political advertising.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the Federal Trade Commission is also looking into the Cambridge Analytica scandal and whether Facebook violated a 2011 agreement to give consumers a “clear and prominent notice” before sharing user data. If the FTC finds that Facebook violated that agreement, the company could be fined $40,000 per day per user.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And in November, California voters can weigh in on the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article206394929.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">California Consumer Privacy Act\u003c/a>, a measure that would require companies to disclose what data they collect and how they share or sell it.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Last year, for instance, a federal judge in San Jose \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/jul/03/facebook-track-browsing-history-california-lawsuit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dismissed a lawsuit\u003c/a> accusing Facebook of tracking users' web browsing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. District Judge Edward Davila dismissed the case because he said the plaintiffs failed to show they had a reasonable expectation of privacy and couldn't prove that they suffered from any harm or loss. The plaintiffs could have taken steps to keep their browsing histories private, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the most recent Facebook scandal has been described as a \"breach\" or \"hack,\" it's important to note that University of Cambridge professor Aleksandr Kogan was not gaining unauthorized access when he gathered user data and sold it to Cambridge Analytica. At the time it was totally legal and within Facebook's terms of service for Kogan to gather such data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.theverge.com/2018/3/20/17142806/how-to-delete-facebook-page-account-data-privacy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Deleting Facebook\u003c/a> or \u003ca href=\"https://techcrunch.com/2018/03/27/mozillas-new-extension-keeps-your-facebook-data-isolated-to-the-social-network-itself/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">walling off\u003c/a> some of its trackers could certainly protect you from their data collection. But the truth is almost every click and scroll we make is tracked. And it's not just on your computer. \u003ca href=\"https://theconversation.com/7-in-10-smartphone-apps-share-your-data-with-third-party-services-72404\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A study\u003c/a> from last year concluded that 70 percent of smartphone apps send personal data to third-party tracking companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So here are a few ways to protect your data (and your friends') online.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Step 1: Know when you're agreeing to give your data away\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The first place you usually give away the rights to your data is in the terms of service of a site or app. The services and apps you sign up for often ask permission before accessing your personal information. Sometimes, this makes a lot of sense. For instance, you can't talk to Siri unless you give her access to your microphone, and Google Maps doesn't work nearly as well without access to your GPS.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The terms of service for \u003ca href=\"https://theoutline.com/post/3820/make-sure-you-delete-these-profiles-too?zd=2&zi=3ndpcio2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google, Amazon and Twitter\u003c/a> all contain clauses allowing them to collect your data and pass it on to third parties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Your phone also provides a huge amount of data. A \u003ca href=\"https://theoutline.com/post/3820/make-sure-you-delete-these-profiles-too?zd=2&zi=3ndpcio2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">recent study\u003c/a> estimated that 70 percent of smartphone apps pass on your information to third parties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, you could just \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/03/technology/personaltech/how-to-protect-your-privacy-as-more-apps-harvest-your-data.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">opt out\u003c/a> of services that suggest your data could be shared with a third party. But it's hard when many of us need to use certain apps to do our jobs or even do something basic like \u003ca href=\"https://slate.com/technology/2018/03/dont-deletefacebook-thats-not-good-enough.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">access the internet\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Step 2: Manage who has your data\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>What is possible, and important, is to know how apps are using your data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Facebook, for instance, you can go to Settings > Apps > Logged in. You can delete apps that you don't use, and then Facebook will no longer provide them with information about your activities on the site. But if you want the app developers to delete the data they've already gathered, you'll need to ask each of them individually to do so. If you use your Facebook account on a lot of other websites and want to disconnect, you can do that by going to Settings > Apps > Apps, Website and Plugins, then click Edit and disable it. Some apps use your Facebook login as a way of proving who you are, so be aware that fully disabling this kind of connection, called API sharing, can stop you from using certain dating apps, for instance. Also, you can check out what data Facebook has on you \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/help/131112897028467\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>WhatsApp users can just turn their data sharing off. Go into your Account and uncheck the \"Share my account info\" button. There's currently no way to turn off data sharing on Instagram.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can see what third-party apps are using your Google data \u003ca href=\"https://myaccount.google.com/permissions?pli=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here\u003c/a>. If you're logged into Google, go to My Account > Personal info & privacy > \u003ca href=\"https://myaccount.google.com/privacy#activity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Manage your Google\u003c/a> activity to see what data are saved to your account, your location history, voice activity and more. If you've used Google to log in to other websites you can manage that \u003ca href=\"https://profiles.google.com/connectedaccounts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here\u003c/a>. And you can see what data Google has already collected on you \u003ca href=\"https://takeout.google.com/settings/takeout\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you're using an iPhone you can go to Settings > Privacy to see what services apps are accessing. If you're using an Android phone, you can manage most preferences using Google's \u003ca href=\"https://myaccount.google.com/privacy#activity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">activity manager\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Step 3: Tracking (and blocking) the trackers\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>But apps are far from the only things tracking you and collecting your data online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Let's consider that lawsuit again, where plaintiffs sued Facebook for tracking which websites they went to on their browsers. Many websites, including KQED's, track your browsing history by placing cookies on your computer, which store little bits of information about how you use the website. They often store information like your browser type, preferences, location, etc. Often, cookies are an essential part of what makes a website easily usable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But cookies can also be used to track all of your actions on a certain website, which allows companies to build a profile of you. Those companies can \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2016/07/11/485571291/firms-are-buying-sharing-your-online-info-what-can-you-do-about-it\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sell that data\u003c/a> to advertising agencies. Have you ever looked at a pair of shoes and then had ads for those shoes follow you all over the internet? That's because of cookies and data brokers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, there are a lot of ways to track cookies or other tracking scripts. That's one reason the judge ruled in favor of Facebook, saying that the plaintiffs could have taken steps to block their browsing history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two popular tools that you can add to your browser to view or disable trackers are \u003ca href=\"https://www.eff.org/privacybadger\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PrivacyBadger\u003c/a> and UBlock Origin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PrivacyBadger uses a series of color-coded sliders to let you manage what types of trackers a site can use. It was built by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a digital civil liberties organization. It works on Chrome, Firefox and Opera.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>uBlock Origin comes with a set of script-blocking lists. It works on \u003ca href=\"https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublock-origin/cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chrome\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Firefox\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://github.com/el1t/uBlock-Safari\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Safari\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://addons.opera.com/en-gb/extensions/details/ublock/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Opera\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://adblockplus.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AdBlock Plus\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://noscript.net/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NoScript\u003c/a> are also popular.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can also opt out of cookies. People in the U.S. can use this service by the \u003ca href=\"http://optout.aboutads.info/?c=2#!/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Digital Advertising Alliance\u003c/a>. Most browsers also let you disable third-party cookies in the Settings menu.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Academics have also built \u003ca href=\"https://www.fastcompany.com/40407424/smartphone-apps-are-tracking-you-and-heres-how-to-monitor-what-they-know\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">two apps\u003c/a> that you can use on your phone to examine and manage what data are being sent out into the world. \u003ca href=\"https://recon.meddle.mobi/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ReCon\u003c/a> works on iOS and Android. \u003ca href=\"https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=edu.berkeley.icsi.haystack\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lumen Privacy Monitor\u003c/a> only works on Android.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Some of this could change\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In the end the only way to ensure total online privacy is to swear off the internet. But that could change through strict regulation of how companies harvest and handle user data. The European Union is moving in this direction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In May, the EU's \u003ca href=\"https://www.eugdpr.org/the-regulation.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">General Data Protection Regulation\u003c/a> will go into effect, \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnet.com/how-to/gdpr-eu-general-data-protection-regulation-explained/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">changing\u003c/a> how companies can collect, store and process user data. Because the law applies to any organization that collects or manages the information of European Union citizens, companies like Facebook, Apple, Amazon and Google all need to comply. Some companies are \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnet.com/how-to/gdpr-eu-general-data-protection-regulation-explained/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">already rolling out new privacy management tools\u003c/a> in response to the law, like Apple.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mark Zuckerberg also faced \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2018/04/10/could-european-privacy-rules-save-facebooks-zuckerberg-from-a-senate-grilling/?utm_term=.a9781cae23c9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a lot of questions\u003c/a> about possible regulations during his testimony before the congressional committees. Last fall, Sens. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minnesota, Mark Warner, D-Virginia, and John McCain, R-Arizona, introduced the Honest Ads Act, which would regulate online political advertising.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the Federal Trade Commission is also looking into the Cambridge Analytica scandal and whether Facebook violated a 2011 agreement to give consumers a “clear and prominent notice” before sharing user data. If the FTC finds that Facebook violated that agreement, the company could be fined $40,000 per day per user.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Greg Walden, R-Ore., committee chairman, noted that Facebook has exclusive broadcasting deals as well as tools that allow people to transfer money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Is Facebook a media company?\" he asked. \"Is Facebook a financial institution?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg replied: \"I consider us to be a technology company because the primary thing that we do is have engineers that write code and build products and services for other people. There are certainly other things that we do. ...

Bobby Rush, D-Ill., accused Facebook of \"the wholesale invasion and manipulation of users' right to privacy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What is the difference between Facebook's methodology and the methodology of the American political pariah J. Edgar Hoover?\" he asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The difference is extremely clear, which is that on Facebook you have control over your information,\" Zuckerberg said. \"The content that you share, you put there. ... The information that we collect, you can choose to have us not collect. You can delete any of it, and of course, you can leave Facebook if you want.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I know of no surveillance organization that gives people the option to delete the data that they have or even know what they're collecting,\" Zuckerberg said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Do consumers understand what they've agreed to as they use Facebook? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Walden asked Zuckerberg, \"Did it ever cross your mind that you should be communicating more clearly with users about how Facebook is monetizing their data?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I would say that we do try to explain what we do as time goes on,\" Zuckerberg said. Every time someone adds content to Facebook, he said, there is \"a control right there about who you want to share it with. ... I think that in the product that's quite clear. I do think that we can do a better job of explaining how our advertising works.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Michael Burgess, R-Texas, approached the same question from a different angle. \"Can the average layperson look at the terms and conditions and make the evaluation: Is this strong enough protection for me to enter into this arrangement?\" he asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg said, \"I think if someone wanted to know that they could, but a lot of people probably just accept terms of service without taking the time to read through it. I view our responsibility not as just legally complying with laying it out, getting that consent, but actually trying to make sure that people understand what's happening throughout the product.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He repeatedly said he believes users do understand how their data will be used.

Facebook\u003c/em>, in which users received no compensation, and \u003cem>Fraley v. Facebook\u003c/em>, in which users received $15 each.

Zuckerberg said he couldn't remember, which prompted more skepticism from DeGette.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The reason you probably don't remember is because the FTC doesn't have the authority to issue penalties for first-time violations,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We continue to have these abuses and these data breaches, but at the same time, it doesn't seem like future activities are prevented,\" DeGette said. \"I think one of the things that we need to look at in the future ... is putting really robust penalties in place in case of improper actions.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On racial diversity within Facebook's staff and leadership\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Congressional Black Caucus member Rep. G.K. Butterfield, D-N.C., said that Facebook lists five leaders on its website, none of whom are black. \"This does not reflect America,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have a broader leadership than just five people,\" Zuckerberg said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Do you plan to add an African-American to your leadership team in the foreseeable future and will you commit that you will continue to work with us, the Congressional Black Caucus, to increase diversity within your company?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Congressman, we will certainly work with you,\" Zuckerberg said. \"This is an important issue.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Butterfield asked for data on the retention of employees by race; Zuckerberg said he would discuss it with his team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Yvette Clarke, D-N.Y., also pushed Zuckerberg hard on the question of diversity, tying the \"monolithic\" makeup of the company to Facebook's failures to anticipate and prevent disinformation campaigns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Is Facebook doing enough to stop opioid sales?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. David McKinley, R-W.Va., brought up America's opioid crisis and posted a photo of drugs available for sale on Facebook, no prescription necessary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Your platform is still being used to circumvent the law and allow people to buy highly addictive drugs without a prescription,\" he said. \"Facebook is actually enabling an illegal activity and in so doing, you are hurting people.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg replied that \"there are a number of areas of content that we need to do a better job policing on our service.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You've said before you were going to take down those ads but you didn't do it,\" McKinley said. \"When are you going to take them down? ... Where is your accountability to allow this to be occurring?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg said Facebook relies on users flagging inappropriate content to be taken down. He said with billions of pieces of content shared daily, it was not feasible for the company to examine all those posts. But he said the company hopes to use artificial intelligence tools to help flag inappropriate content.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On Facebook's collection of data on non-Facebook users \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg's congressional testimony has focused on how Facebook handles user data. But Rep. Ben Luján, D-N.M., pushed Zuckerberg on how exactly Facebook uses the data of people who are \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclu.org/blog/privacy-technology/internet-privacy/facebook-tracking-me-even-though-im-not-facebook\">not users of the service.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their conversation went like this:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Luján: \"Facebook has detailed profiles on people who have never signed up for Facebook, yes or no?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg: \"In general, we collect data from people who have not signed up from Facebook for security purposes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Luján: \"... On average, how many data points does Facebook have on each Facebook user?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg: \"I do not know off the top of my head.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Luján: \"The average for non-Facebook platforms is 1,500. It's been reported that Facebook has as many as 29,000 data points for an average Facebook user. Do you know how many points of data Facebook has on the average non-Facebook user?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg: \"Congressman, I do not off the top off my head, but I can have our team get back to you afterwards.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Luján: \"I'd appreciate that. It's been admitted by Facebook that you do collect data points on non-Facebook users, so my question is, can someone who does not have a Facebook account opt out of Facebook's involuntary data collection?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg: \"Congressman, anyone can turn off and opt out of any data collection for ads, whether they use our services or not, but in order to prevent people from scraping public information ... we need to know when someone is trying to repeatedly access our services ... \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Luján: \"You've said everyone controls their data but you are collecting data on people who are not even Facebook users, that have never signed a consent, a privacy agreement, and you're collecting their data. And it may surprise you that on Facebook's page, when you go to '\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/help/103846099705922?helpref=search&sr=1&query=I+don%27t+have+a+facebook+account\">I don't have a Facebook account and would like to request all my personal data stored by Facebook\u003c/a>,' it takes you to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/180237885820953\">form\u003c/a> that says, 'Go to your Facebook page and then on your account settings you can download your data.' ...

He says people own that data and can delete it at any time. He also stresses that Facebook, while it uses that data to power its ad business, does not sell the data itself to advertisers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Joe Kennedy, D-Mass., pressed Zuckerberg on something different — the \"metadata\" about users that Facebook gathers without users uploading it themselves. That includes things like when and how users access Facebook, and what they click on or look at, including on sites other than Facebook. (\u003cem>The Wall Street Journal\u003c/em> recently published a \u003ca href=\"http://www.wsj.com/graphics/how-pizza-night-can-cost-more-in-data-than-dollars/\">visual breakdown\u003c/a> of data provided vs. data collected by various platforms.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's an awful lot of information that is generated that people don't think that they're generating, and that advertisers are being able to target because Facebook collects it,\" Kennedy said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Yes,\" Zuckerberg said. \"My understanding is that the targeting options that are available for advertisers are generally things that are based on what people share. Now, once an advertiser chooses how they want to target something, Facebook also does its own work to rank and determine which ads are going to be interesting to which people. So we may use metadata or other behaviors of what you've shown that you're interested in in news feeds or other places in order to make our systems more relevant to you, but that's a little bit different from giving that as an option to an advertiser.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't understand how users then own that data,\" Kennedy said. He then ran out of time for questions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On its \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/business/help/182371508761821?helpref=search&sr=2&query=ad%20interests\">business help pages\u003c/a>, Facebook tells advertisers it can target ads based on, among other things, users' purchase behaviors and \"activities people engage in on and off Facebook.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Members of Congress also asked pointed questions about how Facebook will defend civil rights — by preventing \u003ca href=\"https://www.propublica.org/article/facebook-fair-housing-lawsuit-ad-discrimination\">housing discrimination\u003c/a> in advertising, for instance — whether the platform suppresses conservative speech or might in the future, and the degree of responsibility Facebook has over content on its platform, including \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/04/11/601323233/6-facts-we-know-about-fake-news-in-the-2016-election\">disinformation\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday, the hearing before the Senate covered many of the same topics as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As NPR's Peter Overby \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/04/09/600233409/lobbyists-campaign-cash-and-think-tanks-how-silicon-valley-tackled-politics\">reported earlier this week\u003c/a>, Facebook — like Silicon Valley in general — has grown more involved in Washington politics over the years:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Facebook opened its D.C. office when it was five years old — and already worth billions.

I do think that we can do a better job of explaining how our advertising works.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep.

Zuckerberg said he couldn't remember, which prompted more skepticism from DeGette.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The reason you probably don't remember is because the FTC doesn't have the authority to issue penalties for first-time violations,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We continue to have these abuses and these data breaches, but at the same time, it doesn't seem like future activities are prevented,\" DeGette said. \"I think one of the things that we need to look at in the future ... is putting really robust penalties in place in case of improper actions.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On racial diversity within Facebook's staff and leadership\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Congressional Black Caucus member Rep. G.K. Butterfield, D-N.C., said that Facebook lists five leaders on its website, none of whom are black. \"This does not reflect America,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have a broader leadership than just five people,\" Zuckerberg said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Do you plan to add an African-American to your leadership team in the foreseeable future and will you commit that you will continue to work with us, the Congressional Black Caucus, to increase diversity within your company?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Congressman, we will certainly work with you,\" Zuckerberg said. \"This is an important issue.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Butterfield asked for data on the retention of employees by race; Zuckerberg said he would discuss it with his team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep.

Where is your accountability to allow this to be occurring?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg said Facebook relies on users flagging inappropriate content to be taken down. He said with billions of pieces of content shared daily, it was not feasible for the company to examine all those posts. But he said the company hopes to use artificial intelligence tools to help flag inappropriate content.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On Facebook's collection of data on non-Facebook users \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg's congressional testimony has focused on how Facebook handles user data. But Rep. Ben Luján, D-N.M., pushed Zuckerberg on how exactly Facebook uses the data of people who are \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclu.org/blog/privacy-technology/internet-privacy/facebook-tracking-me-even-though-im-not-facebook\">not users of the service.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their conversation went like this:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Luján: \"Facebook has detailed profiles on people who have never signed up for Facebook, yes or no?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg: \"In general, we collect data from people who have not signed up from Facebook for security purposes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Luján: \"... On average, how many data points does Facebook have on each Facebook user?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg: \"I do not know off the top of my head.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Luján: \"The average for non-Facebook platforms is 1,500. It's been reported that Facebook has as many as 29,000 data points for an average Facebook user. Do you know how many points of data Facebook has on the average non-Facebook user?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg: \"Congressman, I do not off the top off my head, but I can have our team get back to you afterwards.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Luján: \"I'd appreciate that. It's been admitted by Facebook that you do collect data points on non-Facebook users, so my question is, can someone who does not have a Facebook account opt out of Facebook's involuntary data collection?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg: \"Congressman, anyone can turn off and opt out of any data collection for ads, whether they use our services or not, but in order to prevent people from scraping public information ... we need to know when someone is trying to repeatedly access our services ... \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Luján: \"You've said everyone controls their data but you are collecting data on people who are not even Facebook users, that have never signed a consent, a privacy agreement, and you're collecting their data.

He says people own that data and can delete it at any time. He also stresses that Facebook, while it uses that data to power its ad business, does not sell the data itself to advertisers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Joe Kennedy, D-Mass., pressed Zuckerberg on something different — the \"metadata\" about users that Facebook gathers without users uploading it themselves. That includes things like when and how users access Facebook, and what they click on or look at, including on sites other than Facebook. (\u003cem>The Wall Street Journal\u003c/em> recently published a \u003ca href=\"http://www.wsj.com/graphics/how-pizza-night-can-cost-more-in-data-than-dollars/\">visual breakdown\u003c/a> of data provided vs. data collected by various platforms.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's an awful lot of information that is generated that people don't think that they're generating, and that advertisers are being able to target because Facebook collects it,\" Kennedy said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Yes,\" Zuckerberg said. \"My understanding is that the targeting options that are available for advertisers are generally things that are based on what people share. Now, once an advertiser chooses how they want to target something, Facebook also does its own work to rank and determine which ads are going to be interesting to which people. So we may use metadata or other behaviors of what you've shown that you're interested in in news feeds or other places in order to make our systems more relevant to you, but that's a little bit different from giving that as an option to an advertiser.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't understand how users then own that data,\" Kennedy said. He then ran out of time for questions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On its \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/business/help/182371508761821?helpref=search&sr=2&query=ad%20interests\">business help pages\u003c/a>, Facebook tells advertisers it can target ads based on, among other things, users' purchase behaviors and \"activities people engage in on and off Facebook.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Members of Congress also asked pointed questions about how Facebook will defend civil rights — by preventing \u003ca href=\"https://www.propublica.org/article/facebook-fair-housing-lawsuit-ad-discrimination\">housing discrimination\u003c/a> in advertising, for instance — whether the platform suppresses conservative speech or might in the future, and the degree of responsibility Facebook has over content on its platform, including \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/04/11/601323233/6-facts-we-know-about-fake-news-in-the-2016-election\">disinformation\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday, the hearing before the Senate covered many of the same topics as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It was also Zuckerberg's first appearance before Congress. He will also be testifying before \u003ca href=\"http://docs.house.gov/meetings/IF/IF00/20180411/108090/HHRG-115-IF00-Wstate-ZuckerbergM-20180411.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the House Energy and Commerce committee\u003c/a> on Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/scottshafer/status/983789665177096192\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facebook is reeling from the Cambridge Analytica scandal, after news publicly broke that millions of Facebook users' data had been improperly shared with a data analytics firm that worked with the Trump campaign. The Federal Trade Commission has confirmed it is \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/03/27/597390569/ftc-investigating-whether-facebook-violated-consent-decree\">investigating\u003c/a> how user privacy has been handled at Facebook.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday, the company began \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/04/10/601163176/how-to-check-if-your-facebook-data-was-used-by-cambridge-analytica\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">informing users\u003c/a> who were affected.

We shouldn't have taken their word for it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facebook did not inform the FTC of the improper data sharing, Zuckerberg said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facebook has blamed Aleksandr Kogan, the researcher who gathered user data and sold it to Cambridge Analytica, for violating Facebook's terms of service. But Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., showed Zuckerberg the text of an agreement he said Kogan sent to Facebook when he set up his app. It claimed the right to \"edit, copy, disseminate, publish, transfer, append or merge with other databases, sell, license ... and archive\" data. Zuckerberg said he had not seen that text. He said that Facebook's app review team would have been responsible for that agreement and that nobody from that team has been fired over this scandal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg agreed that \"victims\" was an appropriate word for the millions of users whose data was shared. \"They did not want their information to be sold to Cambridge Analytica by a developer, and that happened, and it happened on our watch,\" he said. \"Even though we didn't do it, I think we do have a responsibility to be able to prevent it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he denied that the data sharing violated Facebook's\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2011/11/29/142898301/facebook-settles-with-ftc-on-charges-it-deceived-users-on-privacy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> 2011 consent decree\u003c/a> with the FTC.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the terms of that decree, Facebook is required to \"obtain users' affirmative consent\" before sharing their data. Most of the people affected by the Cambridge Analytica scandal did not opt in to Kogan's app, which collected that data; their data was scraped after a friend\u003cem> \u003c/em>opted in. But Zuckerberg argued that the decree was not violated because the \"Facebook Platform,\" which was set up to allow third-party developers to use Facebook data, allowed that practice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I believe that we rolled out this developer platform and that we explained to people how it worked and that they did consent to it,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/TonyaMosley/status/983786256269111296\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg is also being grilled on a wide range of other topics. Lawmakers are keenly interested in how Facebook handled — or mishandled — Russian election interference during the 2016 campaigns, how the platform plans to monitor and disclose who is responsible for ads, and how Facebook plans to prevent hate speech or discriminatory ads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Topics Zuckerberg has addressed so far include:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul class=\"edTag\">\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Informing users about how their data is used:\u003c/strong> \"Long privacy policies are very confusing,\" Zuckerberg said. \"If you make it long and spell out all the detail, then you're probably going to reduce the percent of people who read it.\"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Why this apology is different from \u003c/strong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.wired.com/story/why-zuckerberg-15-year-apology-tour-hasnt-fixed-facebook/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cstrong>previous apologies from Facebook\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cstrong>: \u003c/strong>\"Overall I would say that we're going through a broader philosophical shift in how we approach our responsibility as a company,\" he said. \"We need to take a more proactive role and a broader view of our responsibilities. It's not enough to just build tools. We need to make sure they're used for good. That means we need to now take a more active view in policing the ecosystem.\"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Policing harmful language:\u003c/strong> Zuckerberg noted that Facebook has had success using artificial intelligence tools to police and enforce communication by blocking terrorist propaganda, but he said it's more difficult to identify hate speech. \"Determining if something is hate speech is very linguistically nuanced,\" he said, and the error rate is high. But he said repeatedly that better AI tools are being developed.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Election security:\u003c/strong> \"There are people in Russia whose job it is to try to exploit our systems and other internet systems,\" he said. \"So this is an arms race. They're going to keep getting better at this, and we need to invest in keeping on getting better at this, too.\" He repeated the point again hours later. \"As long as there are people sitting in Russia whose job it is to try to interfere with elections around the world, this is going to be an ongoing conflict,\" he said.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Working with Justice Department special counsel Robert Mueller on the Russia investigation:\u003c/strong> \"I want to be careful here because that, our work with the special counsel, is confidential and I want to make sure that in an open session I'm not revealing something that's confidential,\" he said. \" ... I am not aware of a subpoena, I believe there may be [a subpoena], but I know we are working with them.\"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Whether Facebook is a monopoly: \u003c/strong>Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., pushed Zuckerberg on whether the platform has any true competition, asking whether there is \"an alternative to Facebook in the private sector.\" Zuckerberg maintained that Facebook offers a variety of services and has competition within different \"categories,\" to which Graham asked, \"You don't think you have a monopoly?\" \"It certainly doesn't feel like that to me,\" Zuckerberg said, to chuckles from the audience.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>On whether Facebook is a \"neutral public forum\":\u003c/strong> Sen.

But Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., showed Zuckerberg the text of an agreement he said Kogan sent to Facebook when he set up his app. It claimed the right to \"edit, copy, disseminate, publish, transfer, append or merge with other databases, sell, license ... and archive\" data.

"content": "\u003cp>Mary Stone Ross left her Oakland home Monday morning and drove to Menlo Park in search of Facebook's chief operating officer, Sheryl Sandberg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After 10 minutes of driving around the tech giant's campus, Ross found a place to park near Building 20. She marched inside, and asked if she could hand-deliver a letter to Sandberg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About five minutes later, a man at the front desk apologized, saying Sandberg and her staff were in and out of meetings. He told her that for security reasons, they couldn't accept the letter and to use snail mail instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ross had actually already emailed the letter to Facebook's government affairs unit. But as president of a group called Californians for Consumer Privacy, who are working on a ballot measure that Facebook, Google and other well-funded California businesses vehemently oppose, Ross is assuming she's going to need a bit of dramatic flair to get her message out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ross is a former counterintelligence official at the CIA and former staffer at the House Intelligence Committee, who said she fell into the privacy fight after a friend, Bay Area real estate developer Alastair Mactaggart, told her about a measure he was aiming to put on the California ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I started digging, and the more I started looking into what was happening, it astounded me how much information these corporations are collecting about you and about your children.

That's months away, but Ross was seizing on Facebook's apology tour of recent weeks, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11661063/watch-live-testimony-by-zuckerberg-about-use-and-abuse-of-data\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CEO Mark Zuckerberg's testimony to Congress this week\u003c/a>, to point out the company's opposition to the ballot measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The measure would let consumers request information from companies about what categories of personal information they have collected, and who they sold it to. And, it would allow consumers to request that companies not share or sell that information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It would bar companies from discriminating against consumers who \"opt out\" of having their information shared and it would let them sue the company if they sold the information anyway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facebook is among four companies that have donated $200,000 to the Committee to Protect California Jobs, a campaign committee organized by the California Chamber of Commerce to oppose the measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Internet Association is heading up opposition to the initiative. Robert Callahan, vice president of state government affairs for the Internet Association, said the proposed law would not do what proponents promise and would stifle innovation across industry in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The ballot measure defines things very broadly so that it sort of loses meaning,\" he said. \"It treats every piece of personal information the same, whether it's a random, anonymous person in San Francisco looking for Warriors tickets (or) somebody's Social Security number.

"content": "\u003cp>Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg will face Congress in two separate hearings this week, as his company grapples with intense scrutiny over privacy and security on the social media site. It will be Zuckerberg's first appearance on Capitol Hill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday afternoon, more than 40 senators will crowd into a hearing room, where members of the Senate Judiciary and Commerce committees will have four minutes each to question Zuckerberg. A similar scene will play out Wednesday, when he is set to appear before members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both hearings are expected to be lengthy spectacles following in the long tradition of widely televised congressional inquisitions into corporate scandals — like the 1994 testimony of tobacco CEOs, the probe into steroids in baseball in 2005 and the interrogation of banking executives after the 2008 economic crash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are five points to know to before the Facebook hearings get underway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1. Congress wants answers on what Facebook really knew about Cambridge Analytica\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The high-profile hearing was announced in response to widespread public outcry over the news that the private information of \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/04/04/599542151/facebook-says-cambridge-analytica-data-grab-may-be-much-bigger-than-first-report\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">some 87 million users\u003c/a> was shared with a political data firm, Cambridge Analytica, in violation of Facebook's policies. The information was gathered though an app created in 2013 that invited people to take a personality quiz, while also collecting some data from friends of the quiz takers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The improper data sharing took a political turn because Cambridge Analytica, a British firm, has ties to former White House adviser Steve Bannon and Republican megadonor Robert Mercer. The firm \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/595338116\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">played a role in the 2016 presidential election\u003c/a>, first working with Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and then with the Trump campaign. A source close to the Trump operation says psychological profiling was not part of that effort. Cambridge Analytica released a statement on its website on Monday denying the company provided any \"polling, data analytics and digital marketing for the Trump campaign.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats in particular want to know whether the firm exploited users' private information to influence the outcome of the presidential election.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>Read More About KQED's Coverage of Facebook\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11660778/changes-coming-to-facebook-ahead-of-zuckerbergs-testimony-to-congress\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Changes Coming to Facebook Ahead of Zuckerberg's Testimony to Congress\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11660768/zuckerberg-to-tell-congress-facebooks-dark-underbelly-is-his-mistake\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Zuckerberg to Tell Congress Facebook's Dark Underbelly Is His Mistake\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11660291/facebooks-sheryl-sandberg-on-data-privacy-fail-we-were-way-too-idealistic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook's Sheryl Sandberg on Data Privacy Fail: 'We Were Way Too Idealistic'\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Facebook now says \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/zuck/posts/10104712037900071\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">it had stopped these kinds of data grabs\u003c/a> back in 2014, but news reports suggest Cambridge Analytica did not destroy the data as it had certified to Facebook.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some lawmakers, including Virginia Sen. Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Select Committee on Intelligence, raised questions about Cambridge Analytica in the past and say they are frustrated that Facebook dismissed their concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't think Facebook has been fully forthcoming,\" Warner said on NBC's \u003cem>Meet The Press\u003c/em>. \"I called out Facebook back in December of '16. In the spring of '17, I questioned microtargeting and the use of this really sketchy firm Cambridge Analytica. Early on, for most of 2017, they blew that off.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now lawmakers want answers directly from Zuckerberg about what he knew and did not know about how firms like Cambridge were using and accessing user data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong> 2. Congress wants to make a public show of grilling Zuckerberg\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hearings on Tuesday and Wednesday are expected to be a massive spectacle with TV cameras lining the staid chamber. The room will be jampacked with lawmakers angling for their sliver of airtime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hearings are a chance for each lawmaker to show voters that they care about the public outrage surrounding the Cambridge Analytica scandal, even if Congress fails to pass any laws in response to the outcry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Congress has grown increasingly worried about the role of social media sites in politics since it was revealed that Russia used platforms like Facebook and Twitter to interfere in the 2016 presidential election. Lawmakers have repeatedly questioned Facebook, Twitter and Google on issues like online security, online extremism and privacy, but Zuckerberg himself has not yet appeared for questioning. That has lots of lawmakers fuming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., a member of both the Judiciary and Commerce committees, said in an interview with NPR's \u003cem>Morning Edition\u003c/em> that he wants to know how many other firms could be violating Facebook policies and accessing sensitive user data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The company really is in a moment of reckoning,\" \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/04/09/600777575/sen-blumenthal-on-syria-chemical-attack-zuckerbergs-testimony\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Blumenthal said\u003c/a>. \"The question is one of responsibility for individual data, and it goes well beyond Cambridge Analytica.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg got a first taste of the congressional hearing circus on Monday when he met privately with individual senators ahead of the hearing. While he faced questioning inside the offices, a sprawling crowd of reporters, tourists and onlookers gathered in the office building halls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Viewers can expect a similar scene, complete with protesters, outside the hearing room as the cameras roll on Zuckerberg's testimony.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. And Congress wants to know about far more than just Cambridge Analytica \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawmakers are also concerned about how Facebook regulates its massive online ad platform and what the company is doing to keep bad actors out of users' daily feeds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Louisiana Republican Sen. John Kennedy, who is on the Judiciary Committee, said Sunday that the first question Zuckerberg should answer is: \"Does he really know who is running ads on his platform?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Facebook's lawyers say they have 500,000 unique advertisers a month,\" \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbsnews.com/news/transcript-sen-john-kennedy-on-face-the-nation-april-8-2018/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kennedy said in an interview\u003c/a> on CBS' \u003cem>Face The Nation\u003c/em>. \"I don't think they know who is running ads and issue campaigns. We need to talk about how we're going to find out.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it comes to digital advertising, Facebook and Google completely dominate the field, sometimes even being criticized as a duopoly on digital ad sales. This has prompted calls for an antitrust investigation of the industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cable and telecom companies, for example, have \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2017/03/28/521813464/as-congress-repeals-internet-privacy-rules-putting-your-options-in-perspective\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">historically pointed\u003c/a> to the vast reach of Facebook and Google to present them as direct competitors, though competitors who don't face the same amount of regulatory oversight. In recent days, \u003ca href=\"https://www.axios.com/charter-ceo-calls-for-privacy-law-apply-to-all-e2938a49-360e-4dba-a638-5fa4c492d9ff.html?utm_source=sidebar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">some broadband companies\u003c/a> have been publicly calling for Congress to regulate privacy and the Silicon Valley giants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. Zuckerberg may not have the kind of answers they're looking for\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most lawmakers say they want clear and specific answers from Zuckerberg about what the company knew, when they knew it and what they're going to do to prevent privacy violations in the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Zuckerberg may not be willing to go there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In prepared remarks, Zuckerberg indicates he is grappling with the bigger identity of Facebook. For years, he has presented the social network as a neutral platform. Zuckerberg argues the company is not a media arbiter, but a tech firm firmly rooted \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2018/03/21/591622450/section-230-a-key-legal-shield-for-facebook-google-is-about-to-change\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in a law that shields\u003c/a> internet companies from legal responsibility for what people say and do online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But now, Zuckerberg is expected to tell lawmakers that Facebook made a \"big mistake\" in taking such a narrow view of its responsibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's not enough to just connect people, we have to make sure those connections are positive,\" he says in \u003ca href=\"http://docs.house.gov/meetings/IF/IF00/20180411/108090/HHRG-115-IF00-Wstate-ZuckerbergM-20180411.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">prepared testimony\u003c/a>. \"We have a responsibility to not just build tools, but to make sure those tools are used for good.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. Some lawmakers say it's time to regulate how social media companies handle personal data. Facebook agrees — sort of \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There isn't much Congress can do right now to change the way Facebook — or other social media companies — handle user data or who can buy ads on their platforms. Facebook is a private company and is not subject to existing rules about political advertising or user data — at least not in the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some lawmakers, like Florida Sen. Bill Nelson, the top Democrat on the Commerce committee, told reporters on Monday that Congress has to think seriously about changing that, and Zuckerberg knows it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I believe that he understands that regulation could be right around the corner,\" Nelson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Internet companies' privacy practices are reviewed by the Federal Trade Commission, which investigates violations rather than sets pre-emptive regulations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The FTC in 2011 had reached \u003ca href=\"https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/press-releases/2011/11/facebook-settles-ftc-charges-it-deceived-consumers-failing-keep\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a settlement with Facebook\u003c/a> after federal investigators alleged that Facebook did not warn people about changes to their privacy settings. The commission also alleged that Facebook allowed far more of users' data to be shared with advertisers and apps than it represented to users. The settlement did not include a fine, but it did set a number of new privacy requirements for Facebook.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following the news of Cambridge Analytica's unauthorized data grab, the FTC — in a rare public acknowledgement — has confirmed it's once again investigating Facebook's privacy practices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Outside of the U.S., regulations are on the way. The European Union has recently adopted landmark privacy standards that go into effect on May 25. Known as the General Data Protection Regulation, the rules require websites to get explicit consent from users before collecting any data. The new EU law also requires companies to disclose data breaches within 72 hours and to get parents' approval to carry personal data of children younger than 16. Violations would incur massive fines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg has said that Facebook would roll out \"the same controls and settings\" in the United States as it does in Europe in May, although the rules may not have the same format. Privacy advocates in the United States have been urging lawmakers not only to press Zuckerberg on what exactly that means — but also to discuss writing privacy rules into U.S. laws as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that may not be enough for some lawmakers like Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., who say Congress needs to act to ensure all companies follow the same rules.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If there's a law, then there are penalties,\" said Markey, who is on the Commerce committee. \"If there's a law, then every other company would have to follow it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

It will be Zuckerberg's first appearance on Capitol Hill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday afternoon, more than 40 senators will crowd into a hearing room, where members of the Senate Judiciary and Commerce committees will have four minutes each to question Zuckerberg. A similar scene will play out Wednesday, when he is set to appear before members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both hearings are expected to be lengthy spectacles following in the long tradition of widely televised congressional inquisitions into corporate scandals — like the 1994 testimony of tobacco CEOs, the probe into steroids in baseball in 2005 and the interrogation of banking executives after the 2008 economic crash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are five points to know to before the Facebook hearings get underway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1.

The information was gathered though an app created in 2013 that invited people to take a personality quiz, while also collecting some data from friends of the quiz takers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The improper data sharing took a political turn because Cambridge Analytica, a British firm, has ties to former White House adviser Steve Bannon and Republican megadonor Robert Mercer. The firm \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/595338116\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">played a role in the 2016 presidential election\u003c/a>, first working with Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and then with the Trump campaign. A source close to the Trump operation says psychological profiling was not part of that effort. Cambridge Analytica released a statement on its website on Monday denying the company provided any \"polling, data analytics and digital marketing for the Trump campaign.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats in particular want to know whether the firm exploited users' private information to influence the outcome of the presidential election.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>Read More About KQED's Coverage of Facebook\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11660778/changes-coming-to-facebook-ahead-of-zuckerbergs-testimony-to-congress\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Changes Coming to Facebook Ahead of Zuckerberg's Testimony to Congress\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11660768/zuckerberg-to-tell-congress-facebooks-dark-underbelly-is-his-mistake\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Zuckerberg to Tell Congress Facebook's Dark Underbelly Is His Mistake\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11660291/facebooks-sheryl-sandberg-on-data-privacy-fail-we-were-way-too-idealistic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook's Sheryl Sandberg on Data Privacy Fail: 'We Were Way Too Idealistic'\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Facebook now says \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/zuck/posts/10104712037900071\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">it had stopped these kinds of data grabs\u003c/a> back in 2014, but news reports suggest Cambridge Analytica did not destroy the data as it had certified to Facebook.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some lawmakers, including Virginia Sen. Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Select Committee on Intelligence, raised questions about Cambridge Analytica in the past and say they are frustrated that Facebook dismissed their concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't think Facebook has been fully forthcoming,\" Warner said on NBC's \u003cem>Meet The Press\u003c/em>. \"I called out Facebook back in December of '16. In the spring of '17, I questioned microtargeting and the use of this really sketchy firm Cambridge Analytica. Early on, for most of 2017, they blew that off.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now lawmakers want answers directly from Zuckerberg about what he knew and did not know about how firms like Cambridge were using and accessing user data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong> 2. Congress wants to make a public show of grilling Zuckerberg\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hearings on Tuesday and Wednesday are expected to be a massive spectacle with TV cameras lining the staid chamber. The room will be jampacked with lawmakers angling for their sliver of airtime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hearings are a chance for each lawmaker to show voters that they care about the public outrage surrounding the Cambridge Analytica scandal, even if Congress fails to pass any laws in response to the outcry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Congress has grown increasingly worried about the role of social media sites in politics since it was revealed that Russia used platforms like Facebook and Twitter to interfere in the 2016 presidential election. Lawmakers have repeatedly questioned Facebook, Twitter and Google on issues like online security, online extremism and privacy, but Zuckerberg himself has not yet appeared for questioning. That has lots of lawmakers fuming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., a member of both the Judiciary and Commerce committees, said in an interview with NPR's \u003cem>Morning Edition\u003c/em> that he wants to know how many other firms could be violating Facebook policies and accessing sensitive user data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The company really is in a moment of reckoning,\" \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/04/09/600777575/sen-blumenthal-on-syria-chemical-attack-zuckerbergs-testimony\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Blumenthal said\u003c/a>. \"The question is one of responsibility for individual data, and it goes well beyond Cambridge Analytica.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg got a first taste of the congressional hearing circus on Monday when he met privately with individual senators ahead of the hearing. While he faced questioning inside the offices, a sprawling crowd of reporters, tourists and onlookers gathered in the office building halls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Viewers can expect a similar scene, complete with protesters, outside the hearing room as the cameras roll on Zuckerberg's testimony.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. And Congress wants to know about far more than just Cambridge Analytica \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawmakers are also concerned about how Facebook regulates its massive online ad platform and what the company is doing to keep bad actors out of users' daily feeds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Louisiana Republican Sen. John Kennedy, who is on the Judiciary Committee, said Sunday that the first question Zuckerberg should answer is: \"Does he really know who is running ads on his platform?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Facebook's lawyers say they have 500,000 unique advertisers a month,\" \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbsnews.com/news/transcript-sen-john-kennedy-on-face-the-nation-april-8-2018/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kennedy said in an interview\u003c/a> on CBS' \u003cem>Face The Nation\u003c/em>. \"I don't think they know who is running ads and issue campaigns. We need to talk about how we're going to find out.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it comes to digital advertising, Facebook and Google completely dominate the field, sometimes even being criticized as a duopoly on digital ad sales. This has prompted calls for an antitrust investigation of the industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cable and telecom companies, for example, have \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2017/03/28/521813464/as-congress-repeals-internet-privacy-rules-putting-your-options-in-perspective\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">historically pointed\u003c/a> to the vast reach of Facebook and Google to present them as direct competitors, though competitors who don't face the same amount of regulatory oversight. In recent days, \u003ca href=\"https://www.axios.com/charter-ceo-calls-for-privacy-law-apply-to-all-e2938a49-360e-4dba-a638-5fa4c492d9ff.html?utm_source=sidebar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">some broadband companies\u003c/a> have been publicly calling for Congress to regulate privacy and the Silicon Valley giants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. Zuckerberg may not have the kind of answers they're looking for\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most lawmakers say they want clear and specific answers from Zuckerberg about what the company knew, when they knew it and what they're going to do to prevent privacy violations in the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Zuckerberg may not be willing to go there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In prepared remarks, Zuckerberg indicates he is grappling with the bigger identity of Facebook. For years, he has presented the social network as a neutral platform. Zuckerberg argues the company is not a media arbiter, but a tech firm firmly rooted \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2018/03/21/591622450/section-230-a-key-legal-shield-for-facebook-google-is-about-to-change\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in a law that shields\u003c/a> internet companies from legal responsibility for what people say and do online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But now, Zuckerberg is expected to tell lawmakers that Facebook made a \"big mistake\" in taking such a narrow view of its responsibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's not enough to just connect people, we have to make sure those connections are positive,\" he says in \u003ca href=\"http://docs.house.gov/meetings/IF/IF00/20180411/108090/HHRG-115-IF00-Wstate-ZuckerbergM-20180411.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">prepared testimony\u003c/a>. \"We have a responsibility to not just build tools, but to make sure those tools are used for good.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. Some lawmakers say it's time to regulate how social media companies handle personal data. Facebook agrees — sort of \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There isn't much Congress can do right now to change the way Facebook — or other social media companies — handle user data or who can buy ads on their platforms. Facebook is a private company and is not subject to existing rules about political advertising or user data — at least not in the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some lawmakers, like Florida Sen. Bill Nelson, the top Democrat on the Commerce committee, told reporters on Monday that Congress has to think seriously about changing that, and Zuckerberg knows it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I believe that he understands that regulation could be right around the corner,\" Nelson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Internet companies' privacy practices are reviewed by the Federal Trade Commission, which investigates violations rather than sets pre-emptive regulations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The FTC in 2011 had reached \u003ca href=\"https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/press-releases/2011/11/facebook-settles-ftc-charges-it-deceived-consumers-failing-keep\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a settlement with Facebook\u003c/a> after federal investigators alleged that Facebook did not warn people about changes to their privacy settings. The commission also alleged that Facebook allowed far more of users' data to be shared with advertisers and apps than it represented to users. The settlement did not include a fine, but it did set a number of new privacy requirements for Facebook.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following the news of Cambridge Analytica's unauthorized data grab, the FTC — in a rare public acknowledgement — has confirmed it's once again investigating Facebook's privacy practices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Outside of the U.S., regulations are on the way. The European Union has recently adopted landmark privacy standards that go into effect on May 25. Known as the General Data Protection Regulation, the rules require websites to get explicit consent from users before collecting any data. The new EU law also requires companies to disclose data breaches within 72 hours and to get parents' approval to carry personal data of children younger than 16. Violations would incur massive fines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg has said that Facebook would roll out \"the same controls and settings\" in the United States as it does in Europe in May, although the rules may not have the same format. Privacy advocates in the United States have been urging lawmakers not only to press Zuckerberg on what exactly that means — but also to discuss writing privacy rules into U.S. laws as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that may not be enough for some lawmakers like Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., who say Congress needs to act to ensure all companies follow the same rules.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
