Mark Zuckerberg appears to have (accidentally) embraced data transparency, thanks to an open notebook and a scrum of photojournalists.
The Facebook CEO testified before the senate on Tuesday regarding the Cambridge Analytica scandal that compromised the data of 87 million users.
At about the 2-hour mark, Zuckerberg agreed to a 5-minute break, during which he inexplicably left his notes open, unattended, and in clear view of reporters.
Naturally, pretty much everyone noticed.

Mark, no! Hasn't this scandal taught you anything about data privacy?
As the New York Times reports, a snap from AP photographer Andrew Harnik reveals some of the contents of Zuckerberg's notes, including suggested responses for potential questions regarding his future at the company and recent criticism from Apple CEO Tim Cook. Per the Times, his notes suggest he has no plans to resign at this time.
Is this a rude move on the part of the photojournalists snapping away? Perhaps, but maybe the knowledge of how your data fared in the Cambridge Analytica scandal will alter your opinion.
This article has been updated to include information about the contents of Zuckerberg's notes.
