Dear Sir,

I write you this letter to give you my feeling about Carole Cadwalladr’s Talk about the link between Facebook and Brexit. I found it quite astonishing. The tremendous amount of work that she had to do in order to point out the link between Facebook and Brexit is, to me, truly fantastic. I think she really stood up, not only for herself, but for the millions of people who suffered from Facebook’s actions, without even knowing it. I feel like this scandal which involves Cambridge Analytica is really outrageous. Indeed, it truly undermined the trust I had in internet. Now, I have acknowledged that the internet is not full of trustworthy people and enterprises, but also mischievous ones. Although I’m not sure about it, I believe that Facebook and Cambridge Analytica are not the only one to do that kind of thing. But since Facebook played such a great role in Brexit, I believe inviting Facebook’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg would be a great thing to do. That man would have the occasion to stand up for himself, and answer to these allegations that were made. If they are true, then coming to a TED Talk session would be a great way of being held accountable for what he did, since everyone knows that he will not be legally punished. I look forward to knowing what you think about this idea.

Yours sincerely,

Marc BESSON
