I wonder what guarantees on data confidentiality will be offered? Facebook doesn't have a good reputation when it comes to privacy. I do not believe any serious workplace will trust them with handling any company data and IP.

There's raw data, and then there's confidential data. My suspicion is you could swap most mgmt announcements from any company with any other company and the employees would never tell the difference. "Customer service is very important to us here at innitech" "Here's our diversity statement, please click like" "This friday is officially jeans day"

Or weird trivialities like a dozen people asking me if I've fixed my TPS report headers yet, or the office printer is reporting "PC Load Letter" and no one can remember the new IT ticketing system procedure so I'm posting it here instead.

I don't think it would be the communications platform of choice for top secret R+D or contract negotiations.

The same way that no serious workplace trusts Google/Dropbox with handling any company data and IP today, right?

Presumably, he's referring to SSAE-16 auditing, like for Google's products. The problem of auditing suppliers of parts and services is decades old and effectively already solved.

I wouldn't assume so. FB has a reputation for being more forward with users data as being public and privacy not being so hot.

Just think how convenient it'll be when Facebook CorpDev wants to approach your company. They won't even need to ask any questions!
