That's the auditors and legal counsel who didn't go in there to retrieve the data in December 2015 when @harryfoxdavies wrote breakthrough first @guardian report. Why???
Nor did @facebook turn up with auditors & legal counsel when @HNSGR & @MikaelKrogerus wrote groundbreaking piece a year later that explained how it was done...

Or when we published this. @facebook refused to answer questions & acknowledge data breach in any way...

And when @Schwartzesque published this. Still, @facebook denied & denied & denied....

As they denied & denied & denied when @chrisinsilico leaked me the documents that formed the basis of this: theguardian.com/technology/201…
It took journalists & academics & researchers on 2 continents 2 years to FINALLY force @facebook to acknowledge & actually investigate. It took the @nytimes to get involved, probably. Because remember @facebook is not global, it's American. Big difference
