Answer:

I am the CIO of Facebook, and I want to buy data from Google as soon as possible. However, we don’t know the origins of the data and how the data was collected from Google. We should need to understand the source of the data and ensure that the data does not falls in any non-ethical category like data stealing, data inappropriate sale, misuse of data etc. We want to have formal process for data collection, data purchase and payment for data to Google. We want to run it as a formal process of sale and purchase, so that we abide by legality and do not make any issues for the organization.
