Patrick Leahy of Vermont Monday. Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn, R-Texas, remains opposed to the bill because he says it doesn't go far enough in protecting law enforcement interests.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg wasn't forthcoming enough when he testified before Congress in April (see 1804100054 and 1804110065), given new revelations about the platform’s data practices (see 1806040055), lawmakers told us. The testimony “might have been technically correct, but it was not comprehensive," said Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va. "I would hope that they would realize more transparency is better, and that’s not been their approach so far."

NTIA will call a meeting with stakeholders in early July to discuss implementing recommendations in a report to the president on botnets (see 1805300065), said Deputy Associate Administrator Evelyn Remaley Thursday. The next step is to develop a “prioritized road map,” with the purpose of increasing the resiliency of the internet and communications landscape against distributed threats. That's due within 120 days of the report’s approval and will involve coordination among the departments of Commerce and Homeland Security and industry, civil society and international partners.

Application developers interacting with Facebook still have access to friend data if the linked friends have downloaded the same app, Facebook Privacy and Public Policy Director Steve Satterfield said Wednesday. Developer access to friend data is considered one of the major issues that enabled the Cambridge Analytica privacy breach (see 1804100054 and 1804110065). Friend access allegedly allowed Cambridge University researcher Aleksandr Kogan to take user data from 300,000 people and access information from as many as 87 million users.
