True. But I expect the statement from BP would have sounded a bit more like it had been written by a human being :-)

- r3bl 8y agoYou'd be absolutely right. Here are two statements for comparison . They're similar in context: both were published after a major crisis, during the pressure from the legislators, but before they actually talked to the lawmakers: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2010/jun/17/bp-tony-hayward-oil-spill-statement https://www.theguardian.com/business/2010/jun/17/bp-tony-hay... https://eu.usatoday.com/story/tech/news/2018/03/21/read-facebook-ceo-mark-zuckerbergs-first-statement-cambridge-analytica-data-scandal/446863002/ https://eu.usatoday.com/story/tech/news/2018/03/21/read-face... Even though the BP one is substantially more detailed, at least I've read it completely. I've skimmed over several paragraphs in the Zuckerberg's statement because they essentially say nothing. Some part of it can be blamed on the medium itself, since Zuckerberg couldn't post links, subsections, nor visually-distinguishable lists in a fucking Facebook status.
