Sheryl Sandberg: Not running for office
Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg talks to Jake Tapper about her political aspirations and why Facebook pushes for privacy.

I know you’ve said that you’re never gonna run for office, but your name has been bandied about quite a bit. You obviously worked in the treasury department earlier in your career, are you really saying that you’re never going to run for office, that’s never going to happen?
I’m not running for office, I really love my job at Facebook.
Well. You’re not currently running for office. I understand.
I have no plans to run for office, I really love working at Facebook.
This past year, the Obama administration has faced a lot of criticism for the information gathering for the NSA. And Mark Zackberg, your boss has spoken with president Obama about the program and about its transparency, but one of the arguments that I’ve heard a lot is:” Hey, corp in America has a lot of

data on Americans too, look at Facebook, look at all the information Facebook has on people. Should the public be concerned about the information that Facebook has and what Facebook plans to do with it?”
As you know, we were very concerned with some of the NSA revelations, Mark has spoken to the president, Mark has flown to DC recently and seen the president, we believe every user of our service and any other technology service has a right to have their privacy, or has a right to have control of their data, and has a right to the security of that data. Whether it be from our government or any other, and we’re asking the US government to do more to make sure Americans know that they stand behind that promise.
