This is just funny.

Quote
As a sharply partisan Republican member of Congress, CIA Director Mike Pompeo tormented former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton over her response to the deadly 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya, which Pompeo called “morally reprehensible.” He also once liked a tweet that branded her successor, John Kerry, a “traitor.”

Tweets are an official method of communication now don't ya know. In the Trump Era the tweet is now official state business, as terrifying as that may be.

It's honestly scary that a private company is now in control of what could be very important government public statements. What's preventing Twitter from forging a like or a tweet?

Libel laws.

Well, sure, but even that would only come in after the fact, and might be hard to investigate into.

Has anyone brought up:

at all?
So he's just a super piece of trash, then?

Literally on the front page.


EDIT: Graham is fucking drilling him, goddamn.
They straight up told him to stop futzing around with people's personal information or they will step in. That's an ultimatum, that is.

A couple of interesting questions. "Do people understand what they're doing when they sign your terms of service?" was a good one. Just heard the super pointed "Has anyone been fired on that app review team?" right after Zuckerberg volunteered to stay for 15 minutes more before the break. Bet he's regretting that one.

Hot damn, someone just said "We've seen the apology tours before."

Ooh man, currently under fire for "political bias" due to removal of stories, pages and accounts.

Cruz went after the Political neutrality argument pretty hard, and he just dropped "deplorables" word. Quite interesting. This is clearly a very bipartisan assault (not non-partisan, definitely both parties are going after him in their own way).

They asked him after that line of questions whether he now wanted a break; the silence led to the audience laughing.

"Would you be comfortable sharing with us the name of the hotel you stayed in last night?" Durbin asked.

"Uh... no," Zuckerberg said.

Durbin then asked if Zuckerberg would share the names of everyone Zuckerberg messaged this week. "Senator, no, I would not choose to do that publicly here," he responded.

Durbin said "maybe what this is all about: Your right to privacy."

This is a very interesting way to spend a work day I have to say, this is actually quite interesting.

I really only use facebook for the messenger service these days, and browse the actual app only when I'm bored. I've already given up on the idea of internet security and privacy as an illusion. I'm sure most people here, with a little digging, could figure out exactly where I am.

And one senator literally made the same argument I've made for a while- if it's my data, I want a cut of the monetization.
Problem is, each person's data is worth next to nothing. It's only when you scale it up to 2 billion users does it mean you can make something off of it. Your data alone might be worth 2 pennies over a month... Optimistically.
