3:42 am
happiness and kindness. >> happiness and kindness. >> yep. >> that is a far cry from the adjective lobbed at him now. sinister. unethical. here its what he did. he asked facebook users to take a survey he designed from which he built psychological profiles, meant to predict their behavior. he failed to disclose one that what he was really after was access to their friends, tens of millions of people who could not otherwise reach easily. and two, that he was doing the survey for cambridge analytica, a political consulting firm that used the material to influence people on how to vote. the company's then ceo bragged about their prediction models on stage. >> by having hundreds and hundreds of thousands of americans to undertake the survey we were table to form a model to predict the personality of every single aadult.

have rung a bell to be honest. >> tell me what you did? >> create an app people sign up to do a study. sign up to do the study. give them a survey. in the survey. just a facein log in button. click the button. authorize us. >> to do what? >> collect data. the location. gender, birth date. page likes. similar information for their friends. >> did you say you collected information on their friend? >> they did. >> they didn't opt in. >> explicitly. >> no, they didn't opt in period. the friend dpid ns didn't opt i. >> seems crazy. this was core feature of the facebook platform for years. this was not special permission you had to get. something available to any bed who wanted it who was a developer. >> how many apps do you think, how many developers, who did what you did? >> tens of thousand. >> tens of thousands.
3:45 am
>> tens of thousands. >> facebook was aware? >> of course, a feature not a bug. >> the feature called friend permissions. which sandy perikalis, used to work at facebook explains. >> way it works is if you are using an app i'm your friend. the app can say, hey, leslie we want your data for use. and your friends' data. if you say, i will allow that, then the app gets my data too. >> what you are saying is i give permission for the friend. the friend doesn't give permission. >> right. it doesn't feel right when you say it out loud. >> no it doesn't feel right. >> facebook should have been aware how this could be abused. because that they were repeatedly warned including by parakelis used to be manager in charge of protecting data. he says he raised concerns years before cogan built his app. >> think they didn't want to know. impression i got working there
3:46 am
is they didn't. >> didn't want the public to know. >> they didn't want to know. in the sense that if, if they didn't know, then they could say they didn't know they weren't liable. if they knew they would actually have to do something about it. one of the things i was concerned about was -- that applications, or developers of applications would receive all of this facebook data and once they received it, there was no insight. facebook had no control or view over what they were doing with the data. >> once the data left facebook, did facebook have any real way to find out what happened to it? >> no. >> or was it gone? >> it was gone. >> wow. they could put it on a hard drive. hide it in the closet it. >> would you say then policing this was pretty impossible? >> it was very frustrating. >> did you bring this to the attention of the higher ups. executives. >> number of folks. several executives. >> were the executives' hair on fire. did they say we have to fix this.
3:47 am
do something. >> i didn't see any traction in terms of -- making changes to, to, to protect people. >> they didn't prioritize it. is how i would phrase it. >> would you say they didn't prioritize privacy? >> yes. i would say that they, they prioritized the growth of users growth of the data they could collect. and ability to monetize through advertising what they prior tips. those were and are the melt ricks that the stock market cares about. >> facebook ceo mark zuckerberg turned down our request for an interview. eventually, the company did change its policy. so app developers can no longer gather data from users' friends what their consent. facebook years of faeiling to protect users privacy by allowing covert harvesting of so much personal data became scepter of congressional hearings two weeks ago. in his defense, ceo mark zuckerberg pointed the finger at
3:48 am
one particular app developer. >> if a developer who people gave their information to, in this case, alexander cogan, then goes in violation of his agreement with us sells the data to cambridge analytica, that is a big issue. i think people have a right to be upset. i am upset that happened. >> you are a villain in many eyes. the guy who stole data from facebook. >> uh-huh. uh-huh. >> then sold it? >> the idea that we stole the data i think is technically incorrect. i mean they created the great tools for developers to collect the data. they made it very easy. this is not a hack. this was here is the door. it is open. we are giving away the groceries. please collect them. >> your point though i think -- is that they're singling you out. >> there is utility to trying to tell the narrative this is -- a special case. that, i was rogue. and this was really unusual.
