░░░░░░░░ behalf of the Chinese ░░░░░░░░ party so Facebook create ░░░░░░░░ tools that will allow ░░░░░░░░ to assume whom the ░░░░░░░░ if you like of ░░░░░░░░ where they will do ░░░░░░░░ of the censoring that ░░░░░░░░ Chinese government was doing ░░░░░░░░ would do it on ░░░░░░░░ behalf Is that right ░░░░░░░░ s my understanding and ░░░░░░░░ you have Facebook employees ░░░░░░░░ it good way to ░░░░░░░░ trust They mean build ░░░░░░░░ with the communist party ░░░░░░░░ track set and great ░░░░░░░░ guys Let s do ░░░░░░░░ meaning they Greenland this ░░░░░░░░ and went forward to ░░░░░░░░ if they could make ░░░░░░░░ happen Is that accurate ░░░░░░░░ s man standing send ░░░░░░░░ all of this let ░░░░░░░░ be clear for a ░░░░░░░░ regime in China The ░░░░░░░░ barbaric most evil regime ░░░░░░░░ the face of the ░░░░░░░░ and our free speech ░░░░░░░░ Mark Zuckerberg is here ░░░░░░░░ his team of engineers ░░░░░░░░ working to make Facebook ░░░░░░░░ on their behalf Let ░░░░░░░░ me ask you this ░░░░░░░░ about user data miss ░░░░░░░░ Facebook has said publicly ░░░░░░░░ times We would never ░░░░░░░░ user data it s ░░░░░░░░ red line in the ░░░░░░░░ We d never do ░░░░░░░░ Never never never was ░░░░░░░░ ever willing to share ░░░░░░░░ data with the Chinese ░░░░░░░░ party Yes answer in ░░░░░░░░ they they had a ░░░░░░░░ for that didn t ░░░░░░░░ some more documents Since ░░░░░░░░ documents Update I spoke ░░░░░░░░ the China team yesterday ░░░░░░░░ flagged a potential complications ░░░░░░░░ from our negotiations with ░░░░░░░░ Chinese government emphasizes the ░░░░░░░░ document Now these are ░░░░░░░░ executives in exchange for ░░░░░░░░ ability to do operations ░░░░░░░░ China Facebook will agree ░░░░░░░░ grant the Chinese government ░░░░░░░░ to Chinese user data ░░░░░░░░ is a black and ░░░░░░░░ Facebook will agree to ░░░░░░░░ the Chinese government access ░░░░░░░░ Chinese user data including ░░░░░░░░ Kong ease user that ░░░░░░░░ then they talk about ░░░░░░░░ re gonna have to ░░░░░░░░ the that their Hong ░░░░░░░░ citizens to real agree ░░░░░░░░ terms of service so ░░░░░░░░ can slide this right ░░░░░░░░ them This is extraordinary ░░░░░░░░ I ask you miss ░░░░░░░░ williams was Americans user ░░░░░░░░ ever compromised you they ░░░░░░░░ plan to compromise American ░░░░░░░░ data in any way ░░░░░░░░ you know one of ░░░░░░░░ challenges with the and ░░░░░░░░ and market is big ░░░░░░░░ China was the internet ░░░░░░░░ That would independent say ░░░░░░░░ mention that Cable that ░░░░░░░░ why they joined between ░░░░░░░░ us and China and ░░░░░░░░ would be very helpful ░░░░░░░░ the in in in ░░░░░░░░ in sentencing this market ░░░░░░░░ it would still still ░░░░░░░░ that they say this ░░░░░░░░ be slow so they ░░░░░░░░ and using pop surveys ░░░░░░░░ pups It is a ░░░░░░░░ dad and that brings ░░░░░░░░ data closer to the ░░░░░░░░ at the challenge with ░░░░░░░░ as is that you ░░░░░░░░ t segregate dad would ░░░░░░░░ American dad I would ░░░░░░░░ Chinese use it at ░░░░░░░░ and it would be ░░░░░░░░ Chinese soil So I ░░░░░░░░ to just be clear ░░░░░░░░ this here in this ░░░░░░░░ Facebook is talking about ░░░░░░░░ Chinese user data available ░░░░░░░░ the Chinese government because ░░░░░░░░ re going to store ░░░░░░░░ data in China Is ░░░░░░░░ correct correct when you ░░░░░░░░ that data in China ░░░░░░░░ who exchange messages or ░░░░░░░░ information with Chinese Facebook ░░░░░░░░ that Would mean the ░░░░░░░░ government could get access ░░░░░░░░ the American data as ░░░░░░░░ as I correct three ░░░░░░░░ pups and is potentially ░░░░░░░░ Facebook was willing to ░░░░░░░░ that risk If there ░░░░░░░░ a lot of discussion ░░░░░░░░ this and ends Ultimately ░░░░░░░░ I mean this is ░░░░░░░░ is extraordinary This is ░░░░░░░░ contrary to what Facebook ░░░░░░░░ represented for willing to ░░░░░░░░ data center store data ░░░░░░░░ China They are willing ░░░░░░░░ to give the Chinese ░░░░░░░░ access to it and ░░░░░░░░ that means that American ░░░░░░░░ data is also compromise ░░░░░░░░ re willing to do ░░░░░░░░ to all for profits ░░░░░░░░ China there was virtually ░░░░░░░░ they weren t Willing ░░░░░░░░ do German Grassley I ░░░░░░░░ only certain over here ░░░░░░░░ of
