I asked two questions but I have still not received answers to them. Does Facebook harvest data from those under 13 years of age and, if not, does it have a mechanism to filter those data out? Ms Sweeney stated - in her written submission and verbally - that the internal investigation into what had happened with CPL is being carried out by Facebook rather than CPL. Does that mean that Facebook has no confidence in CPL's employees to conduct the investigation? I have asked these questions twice.
