The
Internet can be a potent medium for politicians to not just communicate with
the public at large, but also bring in transparency in operations, Facebook
Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg said today. An increasing number of
politicians globally, including Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, have been
using social media such as Facebook and Twitter to connect with the masses.
"Internet brings in transparency. Politicians should use Facebook and share
what they are doing (with the public). A perfect example is Narendra Modi, who
has extensively used Facebook in his electoral campaign. His following on
Facebook with over 18 million followers is only next to Obama. This is an
important medium," Sandberg told reporters here. On Twitter, Modi is the
fourth most "followed" world leader, ahead of the White House in
terms of number of followers on the microblogging site. Sandberg, who is in
India on a five-day trip, also emphasised the importance of laws supporting
free speech. "We are all for free expression. Laws supporting that are
also important," she said. On privacy, Sandberg said there are concerns
with every new technology and Facebook is committed to ensure that user data is
not compromised. "It is up to us to ensure that people understand it's
their data. People see ads but advertisers do not get user data. What they get
is stats. It's up to the user to decide who they want to share their
information with," she said. Globally, tech companies including Google,
Yahoo! and Facebook have raised concerns about privacy of user data, especially
in the light of surveillance by the US government. These companies have
strongly denied giving any access except under a legal requirement and have
beefed up security to reassure their customers.
