ms. sandberg: we are as well. >> for what reasons? ms. sandberg: the chinese government has chosen not to allow our service in china. >> did you not accept the terms of how you do business in china? or you were just blocked from coming in? did they give you a chance? other social platforms seem to be adapting and going in. i know a lot of our drugs the , fentanyl and all of that come from china. we are trying to shut that down but i was interested that you all both have been blocked. i would assume he did not agree to their terms? mr. dorsey: i don't think there was any particular decision around what the particular terms point might be, but when we were locked, we decided it wasn't a fight worth fighting and we have other priorities. >> still looking to do business? ms. sandberg: there was no particular time. we've been open about the fact that our mission is to connect the world and that means it is hard to do that without connecting the world's largest population but to go into china we would have to be able to do so in keeping with our

ms. sandberg, let me ask you the same question. what is facebook doing >> we agree with you that people need to know so we have been discussing these publicly as well as in specific cases notifying people so we notify people directly if they had liked or had liked the original i.r.a. accounts most recently when there was an event that was going to be happening in washington, inauthentic accounts, we notified those who rsvp'd to the event or were interested in going to tenth. >> thank you that was the night to defeat the right or something like that, as i recall mr. dorsey, back to you, clemson university researchers and others have shown that these russian i.r.a. accounts target specific leaders and social movements across the political spectrum and again, the goal of the russians, the iranians, anyone else who is involved in this influence campaign is to undermine the public's confidence in political leaders. and weaken our democratic institutions and turn us against one another. well, i learned not from twitter but from clemson u

ms. sandberg? >> you are right that there are systemf ways to game the and we are working hard to stay ahead of any opponents are tech -- any tactics our opponents might choose including that one. mr. dorsey: we do our best understand the intent and what is behind them, but this is where strong partnership with government comes in. we will not always be able to infer agenda, or intent or even location in some cases. in the dialogue you talked about with enforcement, this one of those cases where they are asking you or you are asking them and you are trying to follow the money, or is it just one of those issues that is total hard to think about? both.rsey: it is sen. reed: but that would be a critical issue in terms of governing the behavior campaign. i would hope you would continue to work and we would urge her to work with you in that regard. issues, and i think senator warren and several others have brought it up is the prevalence of bots. i'm not a technologist, it seems like you could identify

ms. sandberg? >> yes >> mr. dorsey? >> yes >> let me turn now to a question based on a lot of analysis my office has done and you all have talked to us you have reviewed facebook audit s consented by the 2011 -- when your company was found to use unfair and deceptive practices one part of the audits outlined how facebook shared information with smart phone manufacturers these included the chinese companies, huewie and samsung will you commit this morning to making public the portion of your audits that relate to facebook's partnerships with smart phone manufacturers? >> senator, i really appreciate the question and the chance to clarify this issue because it's really important with regards to the audits, our third party auditor pwc does audits, they're given to us, we have shared them with the ftc voluntarily. i can't commit to making that public, because amount of that has sensitive information which could help people game the system but we will work with you to see what disclosures will be pertin

ms. sandberg echoed this, as well. some ability to indicate where they're contacted by a human being or machine and acknowledging that just because it's a bot doesn't mean it's good or bad. might be a data point that individual ought to have as they make determinations going forward. i also really appreciated, ms. sandberg, your notion that not only should users have access to the information that you or others collecting but as we work through to this how you monetize that and let users know the value of their data, i think that increased price transparency and i'm grateful of your willingness to at least consider that because i think it goes a long way towards making this exchange better understood by individuals i also, i know i didn't get a chance to get into this at length but you and i have had this conversation in the past around data portability. i don't want to make the complete analogy and number portability came around, we have competition in the wireless industry and elsewhere data portability, you make it

ms. sandberg? sheryl: if we have any suspicion it would be engaged in foreign or domestic non-authentic, or how long enforcement interaction, we would keep the information. sen. lankford: mr. dorsey, we spoke about data and in the business model for both of you is a free platform for everyone to use by data and advertising are very helpful in keeping your business open and employees paid. that is a given and everyone understands that. for data in particular, how do you make sure anyone who purchases the data or gets access to it uses it for its stated purpose rather than using it to either sell to a third-party or open up a shell company and say they are using it for one purpose that use it for a foreign purpose to track real-time activity of americans? how do you make sure companies purchasing into that opportunity to have the data are fulfilling and using it as they stated they would? jack: there are a few things. we are a little bit different in that all of our data is pulled by default and when

ms. sandberg. just two weeks ago, we took down pages from iran, some were tied to state media and some were pretending to be free press that were not free press. we are certainly seeing them use this in -- misinformation campaigns. >> the only other area i want to explore with you is we have to do with this back-and-forth between private sector and the government. very often we ask you about things you are doing and you say when he began government to also , and thent to a b c the government says the same thing. >> i want to thank you, first of all. there is an empty chair for google. maybe it is because their arrogant or maybe it is because the report was posted there was a group that went on pretending to be kremlin linked trolls and elite information and were able to buy ads online and place them on sites like cnn, cbs this morning, some individual want to be here to answer these questions. i thank you for being here. i was happy to read your opening statements that he talked about our democracy

ms. sandberg i would like to recognize you first and mr. dorsey for any opening statements. ms. sandberg: thank you. chairman burr, vice-chairman warner, and members of the select committee, thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak with you today. my written testimony goes into more detail about the actions we are taking to prevent election interference on facebook. i wanted to start by explaining how seriously we take these issues and talk about some of the steps we are taking. free and fair elections are the foundation of any democracy. as americans, they are part of our national identity. that is why it is incumbent upon all of us to do all we can to protect our democratic process. that includes facebook. at its best, facebook plays a positive role in our democracy. enabling representatives to connect with their constituents, reminding people to register and to vote, and giving people a place to freely express opinions that really matter to them. however, we have also seen what can happen when our services are abused. as a bipartisan reporter from this committee said,

ms. sandberg:

ms. sandberg, letter to you.ital economy data increasingly represents the single greatest asset you have in the advertising model that you have created but most users are pretty much in the dark about how much data is being collected on them and what it is worth. as we have seen from other fields like healthcare the fact that we have such a lack of high stress wednesday healthcare reform challenging. some of that lack of price transference in value within social media also exists. i'd like to ask does a facebook user have a right to know what information you are collecting about that user? >> yes. we agree with you that people who you space bar should understand what information is being used, how it is used in the controls they have. we have worked hard to fight desperately put out things like privacy shortcuts which show you all your settings in one space. and something called download your information. you can download your information in a portable way and be able to take it with you and see what it is. >> i
