We need this level of questioning in America, wow.

FB guy is so patronizing - has no clue that he's being led by an astute intelligent person. Really wants to be in charge!

"Mr Milner, you seem to be very keen to answer questions that I do not ask." 38:00

Wish we had ministers like him in India...

I never knew Minister Shanmugam is such a sharp guy. He handled the evasive answers of Facebook so well and totally grilled them. If I were Milner I'd be crying from just his gaze.

One of the best courtroom scenes ever.. it felt like a movie.. Shanmugam is so sharp and disciplined in his approach.

Singapore never stops to amaze me . What an awesome leadership! What a great country , how proactively they take care of its citizens. Love you Singapore!!! God Bless you!

Just goes to show no matter how big any corporation or any company is, they are NOT above the law. Well done this government.

If Facebook chose this slimy Milner person to represent them, it makes clear to me Facebook is a slimy company too.

Mr Shanmugam is so sharp. Great job.

No wonder PAP is still strong. You have many Ministers with brain and razor sharp focus. I meant no disrespect to the opposition there. Kudos from Malaysia.

Those senators in the US congress should watch this

Fantastic job! Wish that more governments would be also that transparent and hold such a hearing. Congratulations to Singapore

I feel concerned that we don't have this level of quality of politicians in Australia. The Minister seems clear, concise, and definitely a force to be reckoned with.

Thank you Minister K Shanmugam, you did a perfect job and a great service for all us users from all over the world. And thanks to Singapore for letting that happen. This is very important and a lesson on civilization. You have my full sincere gratitude.

Forward Thinking and Precise use of words and being to the point. Wow Shanmugam Sir. So proud of you approach. So proud of Singapore taking clear stand in the way of Digital world.

Wow, what a conduct, OMG! I am totally impressed.....

Well, a big thank you to the Khan business. It's drawn my attention to this. Shanmugan is absolutely brilliant.

The bold questions are really keeping as people first. It's glad that a government is taking great concern on their people and analysing opportunity to protect. This is great in all means. Truly people's government.

This is a very sharp minister! Well done sir.

The arrogance of the white man is unacceptable! Look at the way he conducts himself!

Kudos Minister Shanmugam and Govt of Singapore and its leaders.

Mr shammugam , persuasive and bold !!!

I found Minister K Shanmugam extremely impressive in this video clip.

There's definitely gonna be a film about this one day. The extremely dark sequel to The Social Network

Whenever i feel interlectualy down i watch this video. It gives me so much satisfaction. I am proud to be a singaporean.

As a way of saying thank you to Minister K. Shanmugam I've updated his Wikipedia entry with a link back to this video. We need more people like him in public life. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K._Shanmugam

A great work by Minister. Shanmugam, II do expect same level of questioning form Indian govt as well, being one of the largest chunk of users

So proud of you Mr Shanmugam. Excellent show !!

Hats off to Mr. Shanmugam, excellent job!

This Minister puts most American politicians to shame, both by his brilliance and his obvious integrity.

Hats off Mr Shanmugam.. Authority comes with great responsibility and respect to nation. Well you square off.

RESPECT to Singapore ! This is how countries should react if someone messes up! really impressed

Mr. Shanmugam is very articulate, composed and logical.

I am so glad i am a singaporean and i love my government. I shocked that minister Shanmugam is so professional, intelligent, sharp and disciplined. Never seen this side of him. Well done Minister Shanmugam!

Mr.Shandmugam...Awesome... completely grilled him & Facebook.

Great minister K Shanmugam!

Sharp questions.. Would be happy if atleast one of India's ministers were like Mr. K Shanmugam.

I agree. He's doing a great Job!

Mr Shanmugam just superb!👌

Minister Shanmugam shines superbly!

Well done, Mr Shanmugam. Wish we had Ministers like you across the causeway. It would be a breath of fresh air.

Minister K Shanmugam way to go well done! Keep IT UP!!!

Hats off mr shanmugam sir. I love you.

This is magnificent. Thank you.

This instance will forever change the notion about Social Media and would certainly help in increasing user awareness about Privacy and associated controls. And it's really good since nations across the globe are at the cross-roads with Digital Revolution and could nip this in the bud.

I am so proud of Minister Mr. Shanmugam , objective, sharp and precise in his approach!

This is better than any drama show man.

The quality of the questioning from the Singapore administrators is precise, detailed and quite in depth. The spokesperson from FB was quite aggressive in his responses I thought. Clash of the titans.

I believe he is the Minister of Law in Singapore. Leave the law minister, is any minister in India capable of asking questions of this magnitude.

Mr Shanumugam is the real MVP.

Thank you Mr Shanmugham for roasting him....😉 proud to be a Singaporean.

Minister Shanmugam is a breath of fresh air, while the Facebook guy is a weasel who got caught.

Fantastic. The man has law degree and evident from this grilling.

I am very impressed by Singapore GOV 👍

He sure knows how to extract answers from smart people

I'm impressed, by this awesome Minister. 🤘

Well Done Singapore Govt !! 🇸🇬 GOVSG

Hats off to Mr Shanmugan 👏👏👏

man I love me a good committee hearing, Shanmugam killed it

Must needed action from Singapore Government.

ripped fb I wish every country to be strong in their polices

There goes an Indian firing yay!!! Kudos Mr. Shanmugam, this country needs politicians like you.

Great

watching this again inevitably makes me recall of the TikTok hearing in US Congress and comparing the high standards and genuine qualities of the SG's Ministers and US Congressman.

top level grilling,superb.

Fitting of a worldclass hearing

The brilliance of Shanmugam who was an accidental lawyer for he switched to law because there were less lessons. LKY once said he is paid more as a lawyer than as a minister. It is a big sacrifice for him. What a treat when he takes on a British subject who thought his queens English will do him a favors.

shanmugham rocks

Deliberate One line falsehoods, very interesting debate, but everything said is facts.

If you delete an app, they're supposed to delete your data. But what about Cambridge Analytica? How many variations of the app did they use? Was it just a survey? A major breach of trust is an understatement. Facebook wanted it academic, Cambridge Analytica said it was using it for their purposes. According to the question, Facebook representatives believe their answers didn't have to be responsible and more full in answering. Zuckerman should have been there answering and taking the heat since one of his Board members gave Trump money. The Gentleman nailed him. He knows he's not dealing with a reasonable person. And what they know now is not what they knew. Media gave them the heads up.

this man drills hard

Need minister like him in our country India

Is the minister trying Mr Milner in court?

Wow...Shanmugam rocks

Happy to see a Tamilian..so proud

Blown away by the minister.

this facebook rep likes to beat around the bush to conduct avoidance coping. this is the kind of impression facebook is giving.

wow.... Sahmugam Sir ....proud for all tamilians

simon is SOOO disrespectful!!!!!

'you are very keen to answer questions which i dont ask, and you seem not keen in answering questions that i do ask...'

I would congratulate FB rep for being so patient.. He s asking a short answer and question why u answered short in UK..

"I agree that different people could take different views". Except when that person is representing your company, you can't just dismiss it like it has nothing to do with your company.

did i watch a adventure movie ?

He wouldn't be representing FB anymore 😁

❤minister his questioning are superb

the FB representative is arrogant, and this is going to be bad for the company in future.

The Minister is spot on .

This feels like I'm watching a motion picture of John Grisham's "Rain maker" legal thriller with Mr. Shanmugam playing the character of Rudy Baylor in the court room trying to grill drumond and his boys from the Great Benefit Insurance Company for corporate wrongdoing. It's so interesting to watch from start to finish. Mil' no time for nitpicking. Mr. Sham'gam wants nothing but open admission of wrongdoing from you, Sir.

In my mind, this is a strange scenario. Now no one forces the users of Facebook to sign up for their services. If you really want privacy don't use social media, and if you use it then only post information you are willing to lose. Now signing up for an account on the internet may require identifications, make sure that that identification - if important to yourself - is not given up. Yes, Facebook in all its capabilities should protect the user's rights and privacy, but are they obligated? Not really. You see in business it's a two-way relationship, on that note every relationship is two-way. If relationships are a one-way street then it would be like a dictatorship. Facebook did not force anyone to signup for their services by force with a gun in their face. Users of Facebook should and must also bear the consequences of using that service. What Facebook should not have done is to insist that it has a sole moral obligation to do that. Now after Snowden, we know that mass surveillance is a capability of national security agencies. How is that not a breach of privacy? I think it's unfortunate that in this political climate, nations are using Facebook as a scapegoat to cover their own mistakes, which is mass surveillance, and fail to recognize they are calling the kettle black. People naturally blame others when things go wrong, and fail to blame themselves for their own voluntary actions. When trust is breached it's the responsibility of both parties. If no one signs up for Facebook accounts how can there be a breach of trust? No trust would have been breached at all. So humanity has yet to learn how to own their own mistakes, pretty simple, isn't it? And this show is a political one, in all honestly not totally fair for a public company like Facebook. I don't use their service because I understand the danger of it.

Wow. This is brutal

Bravo . Salute Singapore

I don't understand why cambridge wasn't grilled as hard,if at all, when they lost the chemistry papers. It was no minor issue, and students being informed on such a last minute basis (on release of results)made it impossible for them to retake the paper , despite given the opportunity, as application for University was so close to release of results. Just my two cents
