What if he makes a negative impact?
Perhaps Facebook is not looking for solutions to privacy problems, and this is just a marketing strategy/theater/smokescreen; Creating news events where FB is linked to people in the privacy scene.
If you realistically look at recent news events, i believe this is the most likely scenario.

Can you rephrase that without grabbing a pair of buzzwords out of the air?
We need more people who are willing to try and solve problems, not just be critical. Thanks for being willing to have a conversation with them. You're making the right call whether you are able to have an impact or not.
