In a major Friday night data dump, Facebook handed Congress a ~750-page document with responses to the 2,000 or so questions it received from US lawmakers sitting on two committees in the Senate and House back in April.

The document (which condensed into a tellingly apt essence — “people data… Facebook information” — above, when we ran it through Word It Out‘s word cloud tool) would probably come in handy if you needed to put a small child to sleep, given Facebook repeats itself a distressing amount of times.
