Some of my questions were not answered. I have some very direct questions. If Facebook does not harvest data from children under 13 years of age, how is it filtered out? Ms Sweeney referred to the internal investigation being carried out by Facebook in respect of CPL. Is the investigation a vote of no confidence in the CPL staff who work for Facebook? Will Ms Sweeney explain that because it cuts to the nub of the issue? Will she address the fact the moderators felt free to direct staff to leave content up by saying that it was all about money?
