What kind of support do Facebook employees embedded with "clients" provide?
Do they differentiate between types of campaigns -- for example, do they support obvious "black PR" campaigns?
Do they work for state actors? How? /2

What does Facebook know about the scale and efficacy of info ops/influence campaigns on its platform -- especially beyond regular "advertising"?

Who scraped data from Americans, and where is it now?

Why did FB change its API policies in 2015? /3

Has Facebook preserved all the data and content relating to Russian info ops against the United States, and will they make that data/content available to researchers for evaluation? /4

What personal data does FB provide to Russian state media "monitor" or other Rus agencies, including intelligence? Is this data only from accounts in/operated from Russia, or is it global data?
Same re China.

Did FB have employees embedded in any Russian campaigns in 2016? /5

How many Cambridge Analytica campaigns did FB embed in, in how many countries? Did FB know CA/SCL used scraped data in a number of countries?

Can FB compare uploaded datasets? /6

Finally, is FB responsible for the impact when their apps/data practices enable computational propaganda that targets deceptive content to vulnerable individuals?

What role does FB have in promoting Western values?
