Washington Post: Facebook Taps Privacy Hawk as Lobbyist
I found this recent article by the Washington Post Facebook Taps Privacy Hawk as Lobbyist fascinating. What does a job change from one of a privacy advocate to that of defending Facebook against concerns that the company doesn’t protect your personal information well enough.
"Hiring Tim is going to be a litmus test for Facebook; he understands data collection and he's deeply concerned about it. Given his history as a privacy advocate, Tim is simply not going to be able to accept, without a crisis of conscience, any technique by Facebook that would unfairly use and reveal data."
