As Mark answers questions to EU Parliament with Facebook talking points, here are some of the very tough questions being asked by @CommonsCMS @DamianCollins which are smart, super important, unanswered by Facebook leadership.
"From which websites was Facebook pixel data used by the Russians in their website custom audiences, used to target their advertising at Facebook users in America?"
"This answer is what both Christopher Wylie and Chris Vickery have called 'weasel words', and has told the Committee nothing. Please answer the question." 
"Do you really have no records of developer violations for the time-period before 2014? If you don’t have records, would you agree that that is a serious omission?"
"Why was the NDA signed on 24 June 2016, over 18 months after Facebook was first made aware of the data harvesting carried out by GSR? Why was it signed on the result day of the UK Referendum?"
#6 "To repeat the question, who was the person at Facebook responsible for the decision not to tell users affected in 2015? We have received a lot of evidence that would show that Facebook was aware of the data harvesting by GSR prior to December 2015."
#8 "Is Joseph Chancellor’s confidentially agreement retroactive, covering the period before his
employment [at Facebook]? If it is, would you release him from that restriction?" (important, Chancellor took/sold data with Kogan)

#10 "We asked for these adverts months ago. Why did you not provide this information when we asked for it? Why did you give this information to Congress, but not to Parliament? Was there any US or Russia data overlap?" (note: not happy ads were only shared with Congress)
#11 "You have not answered the question. To repeat, from which country did the $2 million that
AIG spent on ads come?" (where did the AIQ $ come from?)
AIG spent on ads come?" (where did the AIQ $ come from?)
#12 "To repeat the question, how many UK Facebook users and Instagram users were contacted
by non-UK entities during the EU referendum?" (good to see Instagram questions being asked, they're very much a part of this buried behind Facebook brand)

#17 on the continued shiftiness around any real answers on the April 14 purge of (millions of) fake accounts which was buried ahead of the Easter holiday weekend. "You mention “a number of other countries”. Which other countries?"
#22 "Do non-Facebook users explicitly grant permission for the use of Facebook cookies on non-Facebook
websites, or is this implied, or is Facebook not mentioned directly at all?"
websites, or is this implied, or is Facebook not mentioned directly at all?"
(on c-level knowledge): "Our objection to your answer to question 25 applies also your answer to Q26. The
CEO of Facebook either must have been aware of the multiple reports of data harvesting in
the press, or he was willfully blind about the seriousness of the incident."

Q37: "Question 29 refers to Question 11, and Question 11 has not been answered. We asked for
examples and copies of adverts that AIQ used, where they were sent, and who decided what
kind of targeting to use. Please answer the question."

Much more in there. I'll stop here but the point being these are the threads that need following up if people want to get to the bottom of Facebook scandal. Applause to @CommonsCMS. Hopefully Facebook will do the right thing. parliament.uk/documents/comm…
