Facebook CEO Zuckerberg Says Problems Will Take Years to Fix

as declared in Not only is browsing data important — Facebook uses it to target people with advertising — but CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced Clear History himself during Facebook's annual developer conference. Clear History was an olive branch meant to show everyone how serious Facebook is about privacy. It's been more than seven months since Zuckerberg's announcement and Facebook hasn't mentioned Clear History since. Product delays aren't uncommon in the tech world, but Clear History was announced to show users how serious Facebook was taking their privacy.

Zuckerberg Claims Facebook Has 'Fundamentally Altered' Its DNA

Facebook (FB) CEO Mark Zuckerberg took to his own social media platform Friday to declare that the company had "fundamentally altered" its DNA in addressing a series of issues that have wracked the Internet giant over the last 12 months. "We're a very different company today than we were in 2016, or even a year ago," Zuckerberg claimed in his post. "We've fundamentally altered our DNA to focus more on preventing harm in all our services, and we've systematically shifted a large portion of our company to work on preventing harm. In addition, Zuckerberg said, Facebook tripled the size of its content review team to handle more complex cases that AI can't judge. "I've learned a lot from focusing on these issues and we still have a lot of work ahead," Zuckerberg said.

Mark Zuckerberg is 'proud' of how Facebook handled its scandals this year

"I'm proud of the progress we've made," he said in an end-of-year note posted on his Facebook page for everyone to see. No other social network in the world has as many users as Facebook, and it's impossible to know what the "right number" of moderators is. Zuckerberg said that the company invests "billions of dollars in security yearly." That may be true. But without an executive overseeing that budget, it's not confidence-inducing knowing that there's nobody with the years of experience needed to oversee a company's security posture in control of where those billions go. Then again, he's spent most of his Facebook career apologizing for the company's fails.
