1) She doesn't remember if she knew about Cambridge Analytica breach when she gave evidence to Parliament in Feb 2018 in DC. cc @carolecadwalla. pic.twitter.com/j5sRNPTVic
We’ve discussed before but here is the issue in Facebook’s banning decision (whether you agree or disagree). This entire chain of execs from Bickert up to Zuckerberg report into and lobby DC interests. Same group that decided not to take action on shooting and looting post. /1

and Facebook's own Joel Kaplan who prompted employee to askthe obvious question\u2b06\ufe0f: "Is it a conflict of interest to have one policy executive influencing both staying on good terms with Trump and civil rights-related moderation?" https://t.co/xa2rbG4mVk

"Minimum bidder qualifications are set at relatively low thresholds... By comparison, the 2019 tender protocol required that a bidder include at least one party who has drilled multiple offshore exploration wells."
