Josh Hawley: Was Facebook Ever Willing To Share User Data With The Chinese Communist Party?

🚨🚨🚨 Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Meta’s foreign relations on April 9

Josh Hawley: Was Facebook ever willing to share user data with the Chinese Communist Party?

Sarah Wynn-Williams: Yes, Senator.

Josh Hawley: But when you store that data in China, Americans who exchange messages or other information with Chinese Facebook users, that would mean the Chinese government could get access to the American data as well. Is that correct?

Sarah Wynn-Williams: Through the POP servers, potentially, yes.

Josh Hawley: Facebook was willing to take that risk?

Sarah Wynn-Williams: Yes, there was a lot of discussion about this, and ultimately, yes.
