Mr. Joel Kaplan:

The next issue to address is Instagram. Instagram will be GDPR compliant. Facebook executives deleted messages. After the Sony hack of executives emails a couple of years ago, our security personnel put in place new protocols for our executives, including our CEO. He does not really communicate that much by email but tends to use our product of messenger. One of the protocols put in place was to clear and delete all his Facebook messages. That was a security precaution taken given the sensitivity we and other companies saw after the Sony hacks.

We are working on that capability for users and I am not sure exactly when that will be available, but my understanding is that this is something that we hope to have in the near future.

On the Russian interference question, we were asked how it was credible that we did not know. Certainly we wish we knew about this type of Russian interference before the US election. Our security personnel were very attuned to the notion of state-actor interference, including Russian interference, but candidly they were focused on more of the traditional types of cyber warfare, namely, hacking, malware, phishing and things like that. It was not until after the 2016 elections that we began to hear reports about Russian information operations in the US during that election and that was what kicked off the internal review that led to the discovery of the pages and ads that we talked about late last year in the fall.

I am going to ask Ms Sweeney to take a number of Deputy Eamon Ryan's questions.
