2/ It’s is not in our business interest to sell or share personal information with anyone. Our business model only works if it works for people - if people don’t , they won’t come to Facebook, advertisers won’t be able to reach them, and we won’t have a business.

Very excited to see the Mueller indictment today. We shared Russian ads with Congress, Mueller and the American people to help the public understand how the Russians abused our system. Still, there are keys facts about the Russian actions that are still not well understood. Most of the coverage of Russian meddling involves their attempt to effect the outcome of the 2016 US election. I have seen all of the Russian ads and I can say very definitively that swaying the election was *NOT* the main goal.
