The Story of Facebook Founder.-Pt4-1; Facebook’s Transparency Promise Fizzled Out.

Mark Zuckerberg assured privacy safety saying they were responsible for content on Facebook. Facebook executives promised to focus on transparency by policing billions of content hits daily. They invested millions in policing content by adding thousands of content reviewers to the payroll and developing AI. They had bi-weekly meetings where they decided what post they’d up and take down. Content that wasn’t got right in this meeting was sent to the CEO to be scrutinized. They assured safety without charging users for Facebook. It seemed to conclude the final installment of the Facebook data scandal. But there was a striking report which was otherwise. It jolted public trust again. To set the record straight, Facebook ignored the data scandal and even sought to conceal the truth in the run-up 2016 election.
