Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg will soon appear before Congress to address news that Cambridge Analytica harvested the data of 50 million users.

Members should #AskFacebook about its collection, use, sharing of sensitive data. Here’s where they should start: aclu.org/blog/privacy-t…
Why did Facebook ignore warnings to adopt procedures that would have prevented the Cambridge Analytica fiasco?

We warned Facebook to close privacy holes that ultimately led to this incident as far back as 2009. The company ignored those suggestions again and again. #AskFacebook
Why has Facebook still not taken adequate measures to address the Cambridge Analytica incident and prevent future fiascos? The best way to do that is to ensure that users are in control. #AskFacebook
Can Facebook guarantee that its advertising is not illegally excluding individuals from housing, employment, credit, and public accommodation ads based on race, gender, age, or other protected characteristics? #AskFacebook
Mark Zuckerberg in March: “I’m not sure we shouldn’t be regulated.”

So why has Facebook consistently opposed common-sense regulation? What new regulations WILL Facebook support? #AskFacebook
In 2016, we revealed that police surveillance software had access to Facebook and Instagram user data. When will Facebook notify users who were impacted, and clarify what safeguards will make sure this doesn't happen again? #AskFacebook
Why does Facebook track and profile millions of people who have never even created an account? Facebook doesn’t give these people the opportunity to learn what data is being collected on them. #AskFacebook
When a company disregards demands for privacy and functionality, users should be able to remove their data in a usable format so they can join another service that offers stronger privacy benefits.

What steps is Facebook taking to make user data more portable? #AskFacebook
Will Facebook pledge not to target advertisements based on detailed, intimate data extracted from users’ faces in images and videos? Will Facebook commit to not allowing the government or third parties to use this technology, and informing the public if that changes? #AskFacebook
We need answers to these questions. Facebook users deserve to know how their data is being used and how Facebook will protect it in the future. #AskFacebook
