Antigone Davis

QuestionBlackburn asks what Facebook does with data from its "digital experience surveys" of kids, how long it's retained, and demands Facebook submit its parental-consent form for the record.

ResponseDavis says the most stringent privacy protections apply and parental consent is obtained, but doesn't answer the data-retention question and only agrees to "take the request back" on producing the consent form (no commitment to actually produce it).
