"We've seen a few advertisers pause with us and
they're asking the same questions that other people are asking," Sandberg said Thursday in an interview at Facebook headquarters in Menlo Park, California. "They want to make sure
they can use data and use it safely."
Sandberg said she is having "reassuring conversations with advertisers, just as we are with people," about how Facebook has built privacy into its system.
[ This is very reassuring. ]
The company makes almost all its revenue and profit from advertising.
[ This too. ]
...
In a wide-ranging interview, Sandberg discussed the company's shifting responsibilities as it thinks about what can go wrong with its network, following the Cambridge Analytica revelations.
[ "Shifting responsibilities". Hmmm. ]
...
The company will also apply new European user-privacy rules globally, Sandberg said.
While the service may look different depending on the country, "the fundamental core principles of those settings and controls we are going to apply all over the world," she said. "Whether or not laws are passed."
[ Why does it need to "look different"? Less confusing that way I guess. ]
Separately, in an interview with Emily Chang of Bloomberg Television, Sandberg took the blame for not ensuring that Facebook's operations were staffed at the right level to protect users' privacy and for failing to look at security issues in total rather than dealing with specific problems as they arose.
"We also didn't build our operations fast enough, and that's on me," Sandberg said, explaining that the company will have 20,000 people working on security by year's end.
[ How brave to take the blame, considering the repercussions for this sort of negligence or carelessness with respect to privacy in the US are... nonexistent. ]
