Seems like an easy problem to solve. Release the documents that provide the "important context". Unless they're even more damning or don't exist...

They've already made it clear that (they claim) the overall framing was user privacy. Maybe they're lying, but if they aren't I don't know what further context they could provide.

There has been so much lying on these topics (not only from Facebook) that what the companies claim means little unless they can support the claim with evidence.
