Apple has reportedly hired a former Facebook employee, who testified before the British Parliament on the social media giant’s data-sharing policies during the Cambridge Analytica scandal, as product manager on its privacy team.
Sandy Parakilas worked as product manager for Facebook for 18 months before leaving the company in 2012. His job at Apple will involve working to ensure that future products minimize data collection and protect privacy.
During his stint in Facebook, he warned senior executives that the company’s data-sharing policies could have potentially damaging consequences.
