The engineers had provided a warning that Facebook would have problems in creating promises to countries on how it might treat the information of its citizens.
The authors have quoted their saying, 'We don't have an adequate level of control and explainability on the way our systems would use information, and so we could not make it with confidence the policy changes or external commitments like 'we would not use X information for Y purpose.''
