unhappy about the files were seized as part of an inquiry into the cambridge analysts to get data a company which was accused of harvesting information from millions of facebook accounts included in the cash is said to be some of my own e-mail correspondence we spoke to larry magid earlier c.e.o. of connect safely dot org which is an internet privacy and security company actually advises companies including facebook on safety issues i asked him i spoke to him earlier and he says the u.s. and the e.u. do have a common interest in facebook following privacy rules. i think the government says and certainly the u.k. and the european commission the united states have an interest in making sure that facebook is first of all a subscriber you its own privacy policy thinking of all deaths of scribing to the ajo european general data privacy rules and just generally treating customers are you there is a privacy properly this is an extraordinary case because you have this lawsuit that happening in my neighborhood in california where this company which is actually

a company whose purpose was to show you pictures of people in bikinis women i presume in bikinis they're not even in business anymore they're under but they were involved in a lawsuit with facebook and have these documents now if the documents are what where it's being illegible it could show that facebook is violating privacy and it's extracting information from users but of course the mere fact that these are allegations of i mean it's truthful first of all if parliament can get their hold hands on the documents they'll get a better of us to what this company alleges and at that point i suspect facebook will respond because they'll be some very serious allegations out there about it but again we don't know yet what this what this cache of data is going to show it's a publicly held company in that it shares are still in the stock market but it's a private company and whether mark that commercial or sandburg resign or change their role it's really up to them unless there's some kind of government action against them but bottom line is that these are the people who have been running the company for a year they're the people who brought the company into profitability i remember

when they went public on the stock market and they failed for a while cheryl mark another executive managed to turn the company around i think that moshe are holders are very happy with the performance of dr breggin founder and i want to keep him there having said that i think that have had some issues in the past he is maturing he has when he started this company in his early twenty's in college but he i've known him for over the years and i think in mature nevertheless i think this company might want to bring in some other executives to make sure that they're behaving in the way that it's going to allow them to sustain themselves especially in a regulatory environment that we're in now both in europe the us and of course other parts of the world as well. florida talks what is the big football match going to start or not not not. only the second leg and a couple of or two hours fine in which one member played and boca juniors has been postponed again the match was due to take off on saturday but was delayed for twenty four hours after river fans attacked
