Zuckerberg's New Vision for FaceBook.
CAMEROTA: Mark Zuckerberg has plans to transform FaceBook. He says his number one priority is privacy. The social network's founder and CEO vows to make it more secure somehow. And CNN's senior media reporter Oliver Darcy joins us now to explain. What's he doing?</s>OLIVER DARCY, CNN SENIOR MEDIA REPORTER: It sounds like something out of the onion, right, that Zuckerberg says this privacy -- or this company that's been having so much trouble with privacy in the past couple years is going to focus now solely on privacy and private communications. But that's basically what Zuckerberg said in his blog post yesterday announcing these sweeping changes on FaceBook. He says effectively that he realizes that the old era of social media might be coming to an end, or at least it might be transitioning, in that by -- I mean that people are no longer as likely or wanting to share things with anyone and everyone on FaceBook and they're moving to what he calls the digital living room. Meaning, they want to share things with family and friends and private messages and private group chats. And so Zuckerberg wants to position FaceBook in a way that they're not left behind with these changes. And so one of the things he quickly off the bat says is they can do is they own all these messaging platforms. They own Instagram. They own WhatsApp. They own Messenger. And so what they can do is make it so if you have Instagram, you can message someone who's on FaceBook. Or if you have FaceBook, you can message someone who's on WhatsApp. Really making a seamless transition, allowing users of all the apps to access the entire database of FaceBook user. He also talks about disappearing messages and making intent inscription, import it in FaceBook's product. And so users can communicate securely. That's an important thing for FaceBook to do, he says, so that users have trust that FaceBook is going to make sure that they are able to communicate privately on the platform. This does come with some drawbacks. One is, FaceBook's policy or their business model is that they collect data on users. And so without being able to read the messages because it's encrypted, FaceBook's no longer going to be able to collect as much data. And that's a drawback possibly for FaceBook's investors. And Zuckerberg acknowledges that people might not trust FaceBook when they say that they want to double down on privacy. He says in a statement or on his blog post, I understand that many people don't think FaceBook can or would even want to build this kind of privacy- focused platform because, frankly, we don't currently have a strong reputation for building privacy-productive services. But we've repeatedly shown that we can evolve. And I think that is what we remain to see is whether FaceBook can evolve.</s>BERMAN: All right, Oliver Darcy, thank you very much. It will be I heavy lift to make FaceBook synonymous with privacy. END
