Why are you having open groups without ANY possible admin-help from Facebook? Why have you NOT any functional help for users? Your idea of community users for users is nice, but anything happen on Facebook (crime, violation, cyberbully...) - law is clueless, 'cause it is just "company" and they can only tell victims "do not use it". You have NO support, NO admins for groups. You only delete "bad content", but what is "bad content" on Facebook? I reported much "bad things" and they were "not violating community standards".
There still are questions. I really don't understand it. Why you lied to United States Congress? You are collecting data and store them forever, until user delete account. There is big difference between closing and deleting. If you close account, data still belongs to Facebook. If you delete your account, data are deleted too. Why did you told that your users shouldn't be surprised what you do with their data?
Mr. Zuckerberg, I am not happy how you lead Facebook and I am asking you for make changes and hire admins. Thank You and wish succes with it.

Mark Zuckerberg Prepared Statement by jakeosmith on Scribd
LIVE UPDATE (second day):Congresswoman Castor says you collect medical data on the internet? Zuckerberg says yes. Is that a mistake?
Mark Zuckerberg: “I think the GDPR in general is going to be a very positive step for the internet.”
Republican Rep. Joe Barton of Texas said: “Why is Facebook censoring conservative bloggers such as Diamond and Silk? Facebook called them ‘unsafe’ to the community. That is ludicrous. They hold conservative views. That isn’t unsafe.” “Congressman,” Zuckerberg responded, “in that specific case, our team made an enforcement error and we have already gotten in touch with them to reverse it.”
Representative Frank Pallone Jr., a New Jersey Democrat, pressed Mr. Zuckerberg on whether Facebook would agree or refuse to change Facebook’s default settings to minimize collection and use of users’ data. “This is a complex issue that deserves more than a one word answer,” Mr. Zuckerberg answered. “That’s disappointing to me,” Mr. Pallone responded.
"You are hurting people. Do you agree with that statement?" Rep. McKinley
"No amount of people that we can hire will be enough to review all of the content. We need to build sophisticated AI tools to flag certain content." Mark Zuckerberg said
Senator Kamala Harris “During the course of this hearing these last four hours you’ve been asked several critical questions for which you don’t have answers,”
- Whether Facebook tracks users after they log out (his answer to this, “I know that people use cookies on the internet, and that people can probably correlate activity between sessions,” was a monumental eye-roller considering we know this is a crucial capability Facebook deploys.)
- Whether Facebook can track activity across devices
- Who is Facebook’s biggest competitor (Senator Graham pursued this with vigor)
- Whether Facebook “may store up to 96 categories of user information” (I would be surprised if it is that few)
- Whether he knew about Aleksandr Kogan’s terms of service or whether Kogan could sell or transfer data under them
Senator Kamala Harris “However, a decision was made not to notify the users. So my question is did anyone at Facebook have a conversation, at the time that you became aware of this breach, have a conversation wherein the decision was made not to contact the users? Because I wasn’t in a lot of them… I mean, I’m not sure what other people discussed. Were you part of a discussion that resulted in the decision not to inform your users?”
Mark Zuckerberg “I don’t remember a conversation like that, for the reason why—”
Senator Kamala Harris “Are you aware of anyone in leadership at Facebook who was in a conversation where a decision was made not to inform your users,” she asked, “or do you believe no such conversation ever took place?”
Mark Zuckerberg “I’m not sure whether there was a conversation about that,” he said, “But I can tell you about the thought process at the time, of the company, which was that in 2015 when we hard about this, we banned the developer and we demanded that they delete all the data and stop using it, and the same with Cambridge Analytica. They told us they had—”
Senator Kamala Harris “I’ve heard your testimony in that regard. But I’m talking about notification of the users. This relates to the issue of transparency and the relationship of trust — informing the user about what you know in terms of how their personal information has been misused. When you personally became aware of this, did you or senior leadership do an inquiry to find out who at Facebook had this information, and did they not have a discussion about whether or not the users should be informed, back in December of 2015?”
Mark Zuckerberg “Senator, in retrospect I think we clearly view it as a mistake that we didn’t inform people, and we did that based on false information that we thought that the case was closed and that the data had been deleted.”
Beth Gautier, a Facebook spokeswoman, said: “When you delete something, we remove it so it’s not visible or accessible on Facebook. You can also delete your account whenever you want. It may take up to 90 days to delete all backups of data on our servers.”
