In this five-part podcast series, I visit with Amii Barnard-Bahn to consider five of the top corporate scandals from 2018. The five we discuss are CBS, 1MDB/Goldman Sachs, Facebook, Tesla and Nissan. We explore the failures at the Board of Directors and at senior management and these companies need to do to not only solve the legal imbroglios they now find themselves in but to also regain the trust of their various stakeholder. In this third episode we consider Facebook’s continued drip, drip, drip of self-inflicted releases of its customers' data without permission or even bothering to inform them.

Some of the highlights include:

• Why is this matter on our Top 5 list?

• Facebook has nearly 2.2 billion users worldwide; when will it accept responsibility for its actions?

• Facebook’s problems have moved into the realm of the geopolitical, requiring nuance and skill to manage. Are the Board and Senior Management up to the task?

• What will be the legal liability of Facebook in the EU and UK after the implementation of GDPR?

• Has Facebook become evil or were Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg just overwhelmed by the stunning growth of the organization?

• What will be the regulatory response to Facebook’s selling of its customers' data?

• What will be the Facebook business model a year from now?

• Has Facebook become a bellwether for how we relate to each other in the 21st century?
