The ad, which was taken from a letter from Mark Zuckerberg, apologized and said that the company is “now taking steps to ensure this doesn’t happen again,” including measures that stop third-party apps from “getting so much information” and “limiting the data apps get when you sign up.”
The ad published in The Observer, The Sunday Times, Mail on Sunday, Sunday Mirror, Sunday Express, Sunday Telegraph, The New York Times, Washington Post, and Wall Street Journal. Many noted the conspicuous absence of an apology in Zuckerberg’s first post to Facebook addressing the incident before he finally appeared on CNN and verbally apologized. The company seems to be making increasingly direct attempts at winning back the public’s trust.
And at last, said that “I want to thank all of you who continue to believe in our mission and work to build this community together. I know it takes longer to fix all these issues than we’d like, but I promise you we’ll work through this and build a better service over the long term.”
