Facebook Takes Privacy Seriously

Today I had the opportunity to speak with Chris Kelly, Chief Privacy Officer of Facebook. I had presented a question to him about rumors of Facebook employees modifying user profiles. There have been a number of articles on Valleywag as well as on here. Chris got the point across to me. Facebook takes privacy very seriously. Conversely, I wouldn’t expect Chris to say anything except for that. Chris spoke with conviction when discussing the Valleywag article so I have to say I believe him.

One other thing Chris noted is that if anyone violates Facebook’s internal policies on accessing their profile database (and people have done so), action will be taken against them.
