| Description | California attorney general candidate Kamala Harris claims opponent Chris Kelly 'released your private information.' A spokeswoman for Kelly, a former Facebook executive, denies the allegation.
In what could be the first televised political attack to center on Facebook and online privacy, California attorney general candidate Kamala Harris is accusing Chris Kelly, one of her opponents in the race for the Democratic nomination, of "designing the Facebook privacy policy condemned across the country."
"Chris Kelly released your private information," the ad's voice-over says, with solemn music in the background. The ad debuted in the Los Angeles television market Thursday.
Harris, San Francisco's district attorney, has sought to link Kelly, formerly Facebook Inc.'s chief privacy officer, to the recent uproar the social network has faced after it changed its system to make users' information more widely available to businesses and other Internet users.
The Kelly campaign called the attacks "patently false." |
