In a public statement, Chris Kelly distanced himself from Facebook saying, “Facebook’s recent changes to its privacy policy and practices with regard to data sharing occurred after I left the company.”

While Facebook has yet to take any significant public stance suggesting that the company will back away from the new program, the company is under increasing pressure. As others have suggested, Chris Kelly stated that the opt-out system is inappropriate. More specifically, Kelly said, “I strongly encourage Facebook to structure all its programs to allow Facebook users to give permission before their information is shared with third parties”.
