Facebook's statements and conduct on the Cambridge Analytica data breaches
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 мар 2018
- Minister K Shanmugam asks Simon Milner, Vice President of Public Policy for Asia-Pacific, whether Facebook has been frank and upfront about the data breaches in the Cambridge Analytica case. The exchange took place at the 22 March hearing of the Select Committee on Deliberate Online Falsehoods.
We need this level of questioning in America, wow.
FB guy is so patronizing - has no clue that he's being led by an astute intelligent person. Really wants to be in charge!
I never knew Minister Shanmugam is such a sharp guy. He handled the evasive answers of Facebook so well and totally grilled them. If I were Milner I'd be crying from just his gaze.
Just goes to show no matter how big any corporation or any company is, they are NOT above the law. Well done this government.
Singapore never stops to amaze me . What an awesome leadership! What a great country , how proactively they take care of its citizens. Love you Singapore!!!
God Bless you!
One of the best courtroom scenes ever.. it felt like a movie.. Shanmugam is so sharp and disciplined in his approach.
Wish we had ministers like him in India...
"Mr Milner, you seem to be very keen to answer questions that I do not ask." 38:00
If Facebook chose this slimy Milner person to represent them, it makes clear to me Facebook is a slimy company too.
I feel concerned that we don't have this level of quality of politicians in Australia. The Minister seems clear, concise, and definitely a force to be reckoned with.
Thank you Minister K Shanmugam, you did a perfect job and a great service for all us users from all over the world.
And thanks to Singapore for letting that happen.
This is very important and a lesson on civilization.
You have my full sincere gratitude.
Mr Shanmugam is so sharp. Great job.
No wonder PAP is still strong. You have many Ministers with brain and razor sharp focus. I meant no disrespect to the opposition there. Kudos from Malaysia.
Fantastic job! Wish that more governments would be also that transparent and hold such a hearing. Congratulations to Singapore
Those senators in the US congress should watch this
The arrogance of the white man is unacceptable! Look at the way he conducts himself!
Forward Thinking and Precise use of words and being to the point. Wow Shanmugam Sir. So proud of you approach. So proud of Singapore taking clear stand in the way of Digital world.
Well, a big thank you to the Khan business. It's drawn my attention to this. Shanmugan is absolutely brilliant.
Wow, what a conduct, OMG! I am totally impressed.....
Kudos Minister Shanmugam and Govt of Singapore and its leaders.
The bold questions are really keeping as people first. It's glad that a government is taking great concern on their people and analysing opportunity to protect. This is great in all means. Truly people's government.
This is a very sharp minister! Well done sir.
Man oh man! That’s how you drill and fry an arrogant capitalist! Hats off Mr. Shanmugam
Mr shammugam , persuasive and bold !!!
As a way of saying thank you to Minister K. Shanmugam I've updated his Wikipedia entry with a link back to this video. We need more people like him in public life.

Facebook rep was defending like a convict. More focused on avoiding the questions than reasoning.
I found Minister K Shanmugam extremely impressive in this video clip.
Tom van Bodegraven I agree
First time listening to mr k shanmugam and I'm very impress coming from Jamaica respect man well done mi general
This Minister puts most American politicians to shame, both by his brilliance and his obvious integrity.
Watching something like this made me glue to the entire proceedings is there one video which has the entire proceeding. Minister is at his best grilling facebook.. Great job minister
Mr Shanmugam is fantastic here! Always a welcome in Wales for honest politicians :)

Feels like im watching a thriller movie 🤣
Karthik Kesiraju for sure..
There's definitely gonna be a film about this one day. The extremely dark sequel to The Social Network
Sharp questions.. Would be happy if atleast one of India's ministers were like Mr. K Shanmugam.
Well Done Singapore Govt !! 🇸🇬
GOVSG
Minister Shanmugam is a breath of fresh air, while the Facebook guy is a weasel who got caught.
This instance will forever change the notion about Social Media and would certainly help in increasing user awareness about Privacy and associated controls. And it's really good since nations across the globe are at the cross-roads with Digital Revolution and could nip this in the bud.
Mr Shanumugam is the real MVP.
watching this again inevitably makes me recall of the TikTok hearing in US Congress and comparing the high standards and genuine qualities of the SG's Ministers and US Congressman.
I believe he is the Minister of Law in Singapore. Leave the law minister, is any minister in India capable of asking questions of this magnitude.
This is magnificent. Thank you.
Hats off to Mr Shanmugan 👏👏👏
The brilliance of Shanmugam who was an accidental lawyer for he switched to law because there were less lessons. LKY once said he is paid more as a lawyer than as a minister. It is a big sacrifice for him. What a treat when he takes on a British subject who thought his queens English will do him a favors.
The quality of the questioning from the Singapore administrators is precise, detailed and quite in depth. The spokesperson from FB was quite aggressive in his responses I thought. Clash of the titans.
This is better than any drama show man.
Thank you Mr Shanmugham for roasting him....😉 proud to be a Singaporean.
I am very impressed by Singapore GOV 👍
ripped fb I wish every country to be strong in their polices
If you delete an app, they're supposed to delete your data. But what about Cambridge Analytica? How many variations of the app did they use? Was it just a survey?
A major breach of trust is an understatement. Facebook wanted it academic, Cambridge Analytica said it was using it for their purposes. According to the question, Facebook representatives believe their answers didn't have to be responsible and more full in answering. Zuckerman should have been there answering and taking the heat since one of his Board members gave Trump money.
The Gentleman nailed him. He knows he's not dealing with a reasonable person. And what they know now is not what they knew. Media gave them the heads up.
There goes an Indian firing yay!!! Kudos Mr. Shanmugam, this country needs politicians like you.
He sure knows how to extract answers from smart people
I'm impressed, by this awesome Minister. 🤘
this facebook rep likes to beat around the bush to conduct avoidance coping. this is the kind of impression facebook is giving.
man I love me a good committee hearing, Shanmugam killed it
Fantastic. The man has law degree and evident from this grilling.
shanmugham rocks
Must needed action from Singapore Government.
Great
Deliberate One line falsehoods, very interesting debate, but everything said is facts.
Fitting of a worldclass hearing
the FB representative is arrogant, and this is going to be bad for the company in future.
Happy to see a Tamilian..so proud
Need minister like him in our country India
Blown away by the minister.
Wow...Shanmugam rocks
simon is SOOO disrespectful!!!!!
this man drills hard
The Minister is spot on .
wow.... Sahmugam Sir ....proud for all tamilians
I don't understand why cambridge wasn't grilled as hard,if at all, when they lost the chemistry papers. It was no minor issue, and students being informed on such a last minute basis (on release of results)made it impossible for them to retake the paper , despite given the opportunity, as application for University was so close to release of results. Just my two cents
I would love to see K Shanmugam grill a Cambridge rep.
Wow. This is brutal
In my mind, this is a strange scenario. Now no one forces the users of Facebook to sign up for their services. If you really want privacy don't use social media, and if you use it then only post information you are willing to lose. Now signing up for an account on the internet may require identifications, make sure that that identification - if important to yourself - is not given up. Yes, Facebook in all its capabilities should protect the user's rights and privacy, but are they obligated? Not really. You see in business it's a two-way relationship, on that note every relationship is two-way. If relationships are a one-way street then it would be like a dictatorship. Facebook did not force anyone to signup for their services by force with a gun in their face. Users of Facebook should and must also bear the consequences of using that service. What Facebook should not have done is to insist that it has a sole moral obligation to do that. Now after Snowden, we know that mass surveillance is a capability of national security agencies. How is that not a breach of privacy? I think it's unfortunate that in this political climate, nations are using Facebook as a scapegoat to cover their own mistakes, which is mass surveillance, and fail to recognize they are calling the kettle black.
People naturally blame others when things go wrong, and fail to blame themselves for their own voluntary actions. When trust is breached it's the responsibility of both parties. If no one signs up for Facebook accounts how can there be a breach of trust? No trust would have been breached at all. So humanity has yet to learn how to own their own mistakes, pretty simple, isn't it? And this show is a political one, in all honestly not totally fair for a public company like Facebook. I don't use their service because I understand the danger of it.
"I agree that different people could take different views". Except when that person is representing your company, you can't just dismiss it like it has nothing to do with your company.
'you are very keen to answer questions which i dont ask, and you seem not keen in answering questions that i do ask...'
top level grilling,superb.
Is the minister trying Mr Milner in court?
❤minister his questioning are superb
This guy schooled fb defendant to a whole new level. Singapore have humble lions.
This feels like I'm watching a motion picture of John Grisham's "Rain maker" legal thriller with Mr. Shanmugam playing the character of Rudy Baylor in the court room trying to grill drumond and his boys from the Great Benefit Insurance Company for corporate wrongdoing. It's so interesting to watch from start to finish. Mil' no time for nitpicking. Mr. Sham'gam wants nothing but open admission of wrongdoing from you, Sir.
I would congratulate FB rep for being so patient.. He s asking a short answer and question why u answered short in UK..
Bravo . Salute Singapore
K Shanmugam single-handedly made FB look incompetent and pathetic, so many hindsights, ‘should have’s and ‘should not have’s for handling an issue so synonymous to big tech. It sounds stupid when you’re talking about a billion dollar top tier tech company. You’d think FB could at least afford top policy-makers that could make appropriate calls and judgements on major issues.
Finally, UK hooray!
He wouldn't be representing FB anymore 😁
