#22Will they honor GDPR related requests? The last I saw, the have some checkbox they require european users to "agree" to in order to continue using FB, which basically waives their GDPR rights. In addition, you might want to review the questions from when Zuckerberg was in front of the European parliament. The MEPs asked some good questions and Zuck basically weasled out of it. I'd love to see the same questions broug…
GDPR is a good question as I'm not sure they can 'waive' the GDPR rights. There is an ongoing court case in the EU at present.

#291. Do your apps upload metadata and/or thumbnails from photos to which they’re permissions to access, but which aren’t explicitly selected by the user for posting/uploading? 2. Do your apps “skim” the contents of device clipboards and send this info off device without user intent to do so? And one open-ended question to try to gauge how open they’re being about the whole process: 3. What information do you collect th…

Agreed. It’s almost impossible to construct a question that can’t be talked around if their intent is to deceive. But if that’s their intent then the whole exercise is pointless.
How’s this?
“Do your apps access the contents of device clipboards and send this information or any modified version of this information off the device without explicit user consent to do-so?”
