1
00:00:00,319 --> 00:00:03,000
we didn't take a broad enough view of

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,400
our responsibility and that was a big

3
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,309
mistake and it was my mistake and I'm

4
00:00:08,309 --> 00:00:12,540
sorry I started Facebook I run it and

5
00:00:12,540 --> 00:00:14,849
I'm responsible for what happens here

6
00:00:14,849 --> 00:00:17,340
mr. Zuckerberg would you be comfortable

7
00:00:17,340 --> 00:00:18,930
sharing with us the name of the hotel

8
00:00:18,930 --> 00:00:25,970
you stayed in last night

9
00:00:25,970 --> 00:00:30,029
know if you've

10
00:00:30,029 --> 00:00:31,830
messaged anybody this week would you

11
00:00:31,830 --> 00:00:34,350
share with us the names of the people

12
00:00:34,350 --> 00:00:37,140
you've messaged a senator no I would

13
00:00:37,140 --> 00:00:39,149
probably not choose to do that publicly

14
00:00:39,149 --> 00:00:41,489
here I think that maybe what this is all

15
00:00:41,489 --> 00:00:45,809
about your right to privacy the limits

16
00:00:45,809 --> 00:00:47,940
of your right to privacy and how much

17
00:00:47,940 --> 00:00:51,059
you give away in modern America in the

18
00:00:51,059 --> 00:00:53,070
name of quote connecting people around

19
00:00:53,070 --> 00:00:56,660
the world who's your biggest competitor

20
00:00:56,660 --> 00:00:58,680
senator we have a lot of competitors

21
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:00,719
who's your biggest the other tech

22
00:01:00,719 --> 00:01:02,969
platforms so Google Apple Amazon

23
00:01:02,969 --> 00:01:04,830
Microsoft we overlap with them in

24
00:01:04,830 --> 00:01:06,810
different ways isn't an alternative to

25
00:01:06,810 --> 00:01:09,840
Facebook in the private sector yes

26
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:11,760
senator the average American uses 8

27
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,979
different apps ok communicate with their

28
00:01:13,979 --> 00:01:15,390
friends and stay in touch with people

29
00:01:15,390 --> 00:01:17,759
ranging from tablet apps to email

30
00:01:17,759 --> 00:01:20,189
service you provide well we do provide a

31
00:01:20,189 --> 00:01:21,960
number of differences clitter the same

32
00:01:21,960 --> 00:01:24,360
as what you do it overlaps with a port

33
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,750
you don't think you have a monopoly all

34
00:01:27,750 --> 00:01:29,009
right certainly doesn't feel like that

35
00:01:29,009 --> 00:01:32,610
to me ok which are you are you a tech

36
00:01:32,610 --> 00:01:35,030
company or you the world's largest

37
00:01:35,030 --> 00:01:36,900
publisher do we feel a responsibility

38
00:01:36,900 --> 00:01:39,630
for the content on our platform the

39
00:01:39,630 --> 00:01:41,159
answer to that I think is clearly yes

40
00:01:41,159 --> 00:01:43,649
and but I don't think that that's

41
00:01:43,649 --> 00:01:45,600
incompatible with fundamentally yet at

42
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,549
our core being a technology company

43
00:01:47,549 --> 00:01:49,170
where the main thing that we do is have

44
00:01:49,170 --> 00:01:52,740
engineers and build products have you

45
00:01:52,740 --> 00:01:55,470
ever drawn the line on selling data to

46
00:01:55,470 --> 00:01:57,329
an advertiser it's actually one of the

47
00:01:57,329 --> 00:01:58,680
most important parts of how Facebook

48
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,630
works is we do not sell data advertisers

49
00:02:00,630 --> 00:02:02,310
do not get access to people's individual

50
00:02:02,310 --> 00:02:03,259
data

51
00:02:03,259 --> 00:02:05,670
have you ever collected the content of

52
00:02:05,670 --> 00:02:07,890
phone calls or messages through any

53
00:02:07,890 --> 00:02:11,620
Facebook application or service

54
00:02:11,620 --> 00:02:14,170
senator I don't believe we've ever

55
00:02:14,170 --> 00:02:17,200
collected the content of phone calls we

56
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,450
have an app called messenger that allows

57
00:02:19,450 --> 00:02:21,760
people to message their mostly their

58
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,250
Facebook friends did you or senior

59
00:02:24,250 --> 00:02:27,459
leadership do an inquiry to find out who

60
00:02:27,459 --> 00:02:30,549
at Facebook had this information and did

61
00:02:30,549 --> 00:02:34,209
they not have a discussion about whether

62
00:02:34,209 --> 00:02:37,180
or not the users should be informed back

63
00:02:37,180 --> 00:02:39,720
in December of 2015

64
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,000
senator in retrospect I think we clearly

65
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,620
view it as a mistake that we didn't

66
00:02:44,620 --> 00:02:46,870
inform people and we did that based on

67
00:02:46,870 --> 00:02:49,239
false information that we thought that

68
00:02:49,239 --> 00:02:50,290
the case was closed

69
00:02:50,290 --> 00:02:51,849
and that the data had been deleted so

70
00:02:51,849 --> 00:02:54,609
there was a decision made on that basis

71
00:02:54,609 --> 00:02:56,549
not to inform the users is that correct

72
00:02:56,549 --> 00:02:58,930
that's my understanding yes do you know

73
00:02:58,930 --> 00:03:00,819
when that Congress when that decision

74
00:03:00,819 --> 00:03:04,060
was made not to inform the users I don't

75
00:03:04,060 --> 00:03:07,030
how much revenue did Facebook earn from

76
00:03:07,030 --> 00:03:08,890
the user engagement that resulted from

77
00:03:08,890 --> 00:03:11,280
foreign propaganda

78
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,590
well senator what we do know is that the

79
00:03:14,590 --> 00:03:17,349
IRA the internet research agency the the

80
00:03:17,349 --> 00:03:19,660
Russian firm ran about a hundred

81
00:03:19,660 --> 00:03:22,900
thousand dollars worth of ads I can't

82
00:03:22,900 --> 00:03:25,180
say that we've identified all of the

83
00:03:25,180 --> 00:03:26,980
foreign actors who are involved here so

84
00:03:26,980 --> 00:03:30,160
I I can't say that that's all of the

85
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:31,569
money but that is what we have

86
00:03:31,569 --> 00:03:35,410
identified okay mr. Zuckerberg I come in

87
00:03:35,410 --> 00:03:38,069
peace

88
00:03:38,069 --> 00:03:43,209
I don't want to vote to have to

89
00:03:43,209 --> 00:03:47,889
regulate Facebook but my god I will but

90
00:03:47,889 --> 00:03:53,680
that a lot of that depends on you and I

91
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,370
say this in gently

92
00:03:56,370 --> 00:04:00,930
your User Agreement sucks

93
00:04:01,820 --> 00:04:04,470
the purpose that User Agreement is to

94
00:04:04,470 --> 00:04:07,890
cover Facebook's rear end it's not to

95
00:04:07,890 --> 00:04:11,280
inform your users about their rights now

96
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:16,790
you know that and I know that

97
00:04:16,790 --> 00:04:17,850
are you

98
00:04:17,850 --> 00:04:21,390
willing to go back and and work on on

99
00:04:21,390 --> 00:04:23,760
giving me a greater right to erase my

100
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:28,290
data senator you can already delete any

101
00:04:28,290 --> 00:04:29,940
of the data that's there or we don't

102
00:04:29,940 --> 00:04:31,380
need to expand that work on expanding

103
00:04:31,380 --> 00:04:36,270
that senator I think we already do what

104
00:04:36,270 --> 00:04:38,280
you're referring to but certainly we're

105
00:04:38,280 --> 00:04:39,900
always working on trying to make these

106
00:04:39,900 --> 00:04:42,090
controls easier are you willing to

107
00:04:42,090 --> 00:04:44,520
expand my right to know who you're

108
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:49,670
sharing my data with senator

109
00:04:49,670 --> 00:04:51,260
we already

110
00:04:51,260 --> 00:04:54,450
give you a list of apps that that you're

111
00:04:54,450 --> 00:04:56,730
using and you signed into those yourself

112
00:04:56,730 --> 00:04:58,980
and provided affirmative consent right

113
00:04:58,980 --> 00:05:00,540
as I've said before I don't share any

114
00:05:00,540 --> 00:05:03,030
datum that User Agreement are you

115
00:05:03,030 --> 00:05:06,240
willing to expand my right to prohibit

116
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:12,390
you from sharing my dad senator again I

117
00:05:12,390 --> 00:05:13,950
believe that you already have that

118
00:05:13,950 --> 00:05:16,620
control so I mean I think people have

119
00:05:16,620 --> 00:05:18,330
that that full control in the system

120
00:05:18,330 --> 00:05:20,190
already today if we're not communicating

121
00:05:20,190 --> 00:05:22,770
this clearly then that's a big thing

122
00:05:22,770 --> 00:05:25,850
that we should work on I assume

123
00:05:25,850 --> 00:05:29,730
Facebook's been served as subpoenas for

124
00:05:29,730 --> 00:05:31,590
the special counselor's office is that

125
00:05:31,590 --> 00:05:36,750
correct yes if you were anyone at

126
00:05:36,750 --> 00:05:38,700
Facebook but interviewed by the special

127
00:05:38,700 --> 00:05:42,720
counsels office yes have you been

128
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:47,070
interviewed I have not I have not others

129
00:05:47,070 --> 00:05:49,410
have I believe so and I want to be

130
00:05:49,410 --> 00:05:54,270
careful here because that our work with

131
00:05:54,270 --> 00:05:56,850
the special counsel is confidential and

132
00:05:56,850 --> 00:05:58,169
I want to make sure that in an open

133
00:05:58,169 --> 00:05:59,640
session I'm not revealing something

134
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,660
that's confidential
