Mr. Marc Rotenberg:

I thank the Representative. In our statement to the FTC prior to the judgment, we set out several proposals. We said that effective data protection standards should be imposed on the company. The FTC has failed to do that. Second, we said that WhatsApp and Instagram should be divested from the company, not because of any grand political philosophy but because Facebook violated its commitments to protect those user data. We had additional recommendations with regards to civil rights issues, which are widely discussed in the United States. These proposals were not taken on board and as the Representative says, the settlement is a speeding ticket.
