Zuckerberg sweats privacy questions
UNREPENTANT DATA HARVESTER Facebook's CEO Mark Zuckerberg felt the heat while fielding questions regarding the bait-and-switch social notworking website's recent betrayals of users' privacy.
While trying to counter claims that Facebook has a cavalier attitude towards user data privacy, a visibly perspiring Zuckerberg put on an unconvincing display that did little to stem the growing anger of users who feel that the firm's gung-ho pursuit of advertising sales shouldn't be applied to their personal data.
Questioned by Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher, Zuckerberg was clearly uncomfortable with questions on the subject of Facebook's privacy furore, which, unlike many before it, managed to reach mainstream media. The relatively soft questions dealt out by Mossberg and Swisher were rarely answered head on by Zuckerberg, who prefered to head off in a direction that clearly he thought would serve his interests.
