data that they gathered was used for political purposes in indonesia is facebook used as a political tool as well. well i think that we the indonesian government is taking the right first step here they need to hear from facebook some questions here facebook's answer so i think it's a good first step that we're actually getting some more some more transparency from facebook sure absolutely so. facebook has been used as a as a political tool in the u.s. which is why there's so much discussion about people's personal information is facebook used that way in indonesia as well to to to discuss you know whether it's fake news politics etc is is that use that way in indonesia. sure absolutely facebook is used for all sorts of purposes in indonesia discussing politics religion among them and these are really sensitive issues and so i actually

facebook and social media serves a really important function in the free flow of information there are problems here certainly around privacy protection of data and i think that it's good that we're starting to get to some to the bottom of some of these questions with facebook disclosing their policies in the hearing today in indonesia facebook committed to being more transparent and to share more of their policies about how they're sharing information with third parties so you know there was a hearing this last week where mark zuckerberg away you know directly to u.s. congress and to answer some questions do you think that there whether it's indonesia or any other countries do you think that they had that type of leverage as well to try to get some answers at facebook to figure out how to go forward. certainly the hearing in the u.s. congress was a really big deal i don't know if indonesia is going to match that but indonesia is the third largest country in terms of social media users or facebook users so

there's quite a lot of leverage there i think that some of the threats by the indonesian government in indonesia minister to shut down facebook are probably empty threats indonesia's not ready to go the way of china. but but certainly they do have leverage and that was that was seen by the seriousness with which facebook was addressing the questions today all right matthew thank you so much appreciate it relatives their crew members on a missing argentine submarine are demanding answers from the government the vessel disappeared in november with forty four crew members on board that offense minister was questioned by an investigating committee protestors outside urged politicians to put more resources into the search the defense minister assured the families the seven arraign will be found. the submarine is somewhere we have to find it and we are trying to find it we've been looking for it for five months and we'll
