A US senator has sent a letter to Mark Zuckerburg calling for Facebook to improve its data transparency. Senator Mark Warner admonished the company for failing to reveal the extent to which its Facebook Research app would collect data on its users after many people accepted a payment of $20 per month from the company to install it on their phones. The letter, signed by Warner, is addressed to Facebook’s chief executive, Mark Zuckerberg, and his deputy, Sheryl Sandberg.
