He used (newspaper) ads to "apologize" for allowing advertisers to use data gathered on his ad-supported info sharing platform to increase effectiveness of their ads. Why did I quote the word apologize? Well, a sincere apology needs to be backed up by a change that reflects the apologiser's understanding of what he did wrong. I did not see any of that (yet), and I expect it to be a really hard thing to change in a huge business that make money off what he apologizes for. So it's not a sincere apology, it is... an ad.
