Thanks very much, Commissioner, for the work of your office and the work of the B.C. commissioner's office.
I want to start by quoting Mr. Zuckerberg. Recently, at an F8 developers conference, he said:
Now look, I get that a lot of people aren't sure that we're serious about this. I know that we don't exactly have the strongest reputation on privacy right now, to put it lightly. But I'm committed to doing this well.
The future is private.
Then I read from your report, and you say:
We are disappointed that Facebook either outright rejected, or refused to implement our recommendations in any manner acceptable to our Offices. This is particularly troubling given Facebook’s public commitments to work with regulators and rectify the “breach of trust” associated with these events.
In a different part of the report, you say:
We were disappointed that Facebook repeatedly failed to meet submission deadlines for the voluntary requests and provided incomplete or deficient responses to several of our questions, certain of which remain unanswered.
We have comments in your report and we have recent comments from Mr. Zuckerberg. Is there any reason to have confidence that Facebook is taking privacy seriously?
