The new order requires the company to ban developers who don’t comply with its privacy policy. Facebook also has to make a new committee focused on privacy-related risks. In a statement posted on Facebook, CEO Mark Zuckerberg, said the company will review its systems and bring new privacy controls: In a blog post, Facebook said it will perform quarterly certification checks to ensure privacy controls are working properly. To implement this, we’ll have to review our technical systems to document any privacy risks and how we’re handling them. Going forward, when we ship a new feature that uses data, or modify an existing feature to use data in new ways, we’ll have to document any risks and the steps we’re taking to mitigate them.

Basically, Chopra believes this ruling “[does] not fix the core problems that led to these violations.”
