Information & Ethics committee  I would just say that I work at a company that in some ways has its roots in a reaction to a dominant player in the market, which at the time was Internet Explorer. I think we do believe that antitrust law provides some really important guardrails in the market. We want what ever

Information & Ethics committee  I think we clearly have a long way to go, absolutely, and it's been frustrating for those of us working in this space because we think that ad transparency is an incredibly important tool in being able to do this, and the other tools are not as good.

Information & Ethics committee  I'd caution you a little. The jury is still out. It's still early days. There's a lot more to do, I think. Perhaps the experience in the parliamentary elections in Europe and the elections in India will be informative. That's where people were trying to take much more proactive s

Information & Ethics committee  We think it's extremely important. It's essential not just because it's the right thing to do—and it is the right thing to do—but also because our argument is we all will build better products if we have a more diverse workforce that reflects the broader base of the communities w

Information & Ethics committee  We think access and data portability are extremely important parts of the GDPR and are actually really important pillars of any good privacy rules. Not only that, but they also could have a positive effect in the competition space. We think there's a lot of promising work to be d

Information & Ethics committee  It's very hard from the outside to decide how to fix another company. I think a lot of us are really disappointed in the choices they've made that have created concern among a lot of people and a lot of regulators. Our hope would be for privacy and more user control. That's a h

Information & Ethics committee  Sure. We do think that ad transparency is a major tool to think about in how we fight disinformation protection, particularly in the election context. We've been working with some of the other big players as part of this EU code of practice, to try to get better transparency too

Information & Ethics committee  What I was trying to say is that if we can't get better information....Transparency is the first step here, and it can be a really powerful tool. If we could have transparency and more notice to people about what political advertising they're seeing, that could go a long way towa

Information & Ethics committee  We have said we believe that. We think it's important to recognize that there is a lot of value that people get out of different kinds of tools, even around things like health or financial or location information, so we want to give people that ability. Probably when you get to k

Information & Ethics committee  I have two quick points. First, we work on something that we call “lean data practices”. It's the idea that we should not keep data if we don't need it. The best way to secure data is not to retain it. Sometimes it's needed, but sometimes it's not. The industry could do a better
