Sandberg warns of more Facebook privacy scandals

This is only the beginning of Face♕book’s privacy scandals.

That was the warning from operating chief Sheryl Sandberg, who said in a Friday interview that “it’s possible” Facebook will uncove൩r more disastrous data leaks like the one to Cambridge Analytica.

“I’m not🅘 going to sit here and say that we’re not going to find more,” Sandberg “because🐼 we are.”

Sandberg and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg have been scrambling to contain the fallout from last month’s scandal, which revealed that the private𓃲 information of as many as 87 million users was leaked to a data firm that wasꦦ working on President Trum𝄹p’s 2016 election campaign.

S🎐he admitted that Facebook only recently began taking additional steps to secure user data — despite the Cambridge Analytica leak first being discovered in December 2015 — because the company “thought the data had been deleted” at the time.

Sandberg said Facebook didn’t bothe🥀r informing its users about the leak for the🎉 same reason.

“You are right that we could’ve dꦯone this two and a half years ago,” Sandberg admitted.

She denꦜied, meanwhile, that Facebook is “a surveillance operation,” arguing instead that it is “a sharin⛎g service.”

“We are not sweeping up data,” Sandberg said. “People are inputting data. People are 🧸sharing data with Facebook.”

The 48-year-old billionaire noted that it would bꦬe impossible to allow users to opt out of having their data used for aꩲdvertising while still keeping Facebook free.

“We don’t have an opt-out at the highest level,” she said. “That♈ would be a paid product.”

The Menlo Park, Calif.-based company will be sending its CEO to te🦂stify before Congres♉s next week. This coming Monday, it will b🍒e informing all users whose data may have been s﷽hared with Cambridge Analytica.

Separately Friday, an EU official by Ca♍mbridge Analytica, and that the EU will press for more details.

On Wednesday, Facebook said it would rewrite its terms of service to be more transparent about what data it collects from its u🔯sers and how it uses it.

The social network sought to spell out controversial policies, such as its collecting call and SMS infor꧟mation from users’ phones, in plain English.
