Thank you, Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Sherman, for appearing today.

I have two areas that I'd like to address in the time we have. First, I'd like to go back to the deletion element. You've talked about that a couple of times.

I think I clearly understand the difference between deactivation and deletion. The concern I have is on the deletion aspect. What happens to the data?

If I, as a consumer or a user, choose to delete—we bypass the 14 days, I want out—do I have my information fully deleted at Facebook and there's no more record of me, other than what's already been shared, I would think, through the communities?
