Anyone else get some weird vibes from that dude?
He is a multi millionaire.
He’s worth 72 billion. He probably doesn’t give a fuck
He is a billionaire.

Who fully extends their legs like that when they walk?
ALIENS! That's fucking who!!!! He's a Gall dern alien!!!!!
Zuckerberg, more like ZuckerBORG! The alien android cyborg gunning to take over the world......CAN'T YOU SEE?!?!
Honestly if David Ickes said "There are Reptilian overlords" and then just pointed at Zuckerberg, I'd believe the bastard. Something ain't right about that boy.
Farcebook has lost 80 billion in market cap since this data for cash thing came out. The Zuck is being called before congress to testify. So when congress and Zuck sit together we will have the two biggest bodies of surveillance in the world in one spot. I never got the attraction of Facebook. I also can't beleive anyone didn't think they were data mining. The obama administration knew, they took advantage of it. I deleted my Facebook account two years ago after setting it up a year before and never look at it. They still have billions of users although I read 50 million have deleted accounts. I still think Facebook stock will be a buy after it gets battered a little more. It was down 10 percent recently but was in the green today
Facebook is evil. I always said that. My prophecies always come true.
Brock used to say the same thing.Quote:

Anyone else watching that cyborg testify before Congress?

There's a malfunction in his robot brain
So I had to go to Boston today, listening to zuckerburg testify on the radio. Damn he is monotone. One thing struck me is the Zuck said after logging out of farcebook people's internet usages is still monitored. I guess it's standard practice in Silicon Valley but I had no idea. I guess people are made aware of this when you (if you) read the terms of service thing. The commentators said it is common practice with these internet companies but none like to admit it. I think it was two years ago I deleted my Facebook account, glad I did. Still they have over 2 billion users. I don't think the younger crowd is much concerened with the privacy thing, they weren't overly concerned about the government spying
Facebook shares went back up after his testimony. He must have done well. It was good he was natural which made him more human. I have heard representatives from the company and they sound like PR specialists, politicians or lawyers.
El Kabong disagrees with thisQuote:

I thought he was grilled good by the politicians.
Not really, a few people nudged him a bit but not only does he donate to everyone questioning him but 90 percent if not all use Facebook for campaigns. Some of them spent time praising Zuck about the successful business he created. I didn't listen to all of it, I'm sure there were some tough questions but when they got to juicy stuff like monitoring internet usage once you logged out of Facebook and the phone call thing no one I heard followed. Zuck just said sorry I'll do better a lot. Congress prob had to be careful or Zuck might have had to admit he works with the NSA monitoring the worldQuote:

Did you see Mark being made uncomfortable when they asked him if he would let them know which hotel he stayed in last night and who he has contacted in the last few days? He was sweating.Quote:

One thing I did find strange is when certain members of congress told the Zuck the ills of Facebook are due to lack of diversity in its upper echelons. Some members of our congress I'm convinced are insane. This isn't about me having an issue with #diversity its about having an issue with congress and how they act with cameras pointed at them.Quote:

My question is who in their right mind would do this???. Who lists their contact numbers on FB? Let alone send steamy detailed messages with personal information on a messenger. But I digress. I think there's a shit ton of personal responsibility that goes with social media. And a boat load of common sense. Does anyone actually post travel info, dates, times, location etc etc? This is just a face of equal and greater problems on the web. Shoot I won't even link home-mobile or i cloud whatever.
All I needed to see to know be weary-trust little is when I went to delete my account when first signing up and it turned into a drawn out psychological guilt trip and interview process, complete with 'friends' pics flooding me with captions like "Shirley Stinkle will really miss you" etc etc. Who the fark is Shirley Stinkle?
Cucked Zuck offered to "walk" one congress member through an algorithm, I think it was the one that "accidently" caused several conservative sites, including those two girls to be labeled as "unsafe" that congress women said no to the algorithm explanation faster than I've ever heard any politician answer a question. If the majority of these ban issues were algorithm related it would have been interesting to hear some technical explanation but as in all these public investigations it is more about asking questions to sound good then getting truly useful information. Facebook will prob get a billion dollar fine and in a few years everything is back to normal. Facebook has 73% of the US I really don't see them going anywhere. Sorry that 73% figure includes all of social mediaQuote:

spicoli its not actual phone numbers on FB, its like Skype,
Miles and Brockton how self inflated are you to think anyone would be interested in spying on you anyway? You are not a pair of radical activists or international double agents are you?..., or are you.. Oooh
Video messaging on FB chat even worse..if you don't expect it to be shared? Who does that ;D.Quote:

How dare they go their own way. Why can't they be conservative and just carry on doing things the same way. It sounds like young men, old and reactionary before their time going "Wah, wah..I don't get it, the world is so confusing, why can't everyone be like me". Him being a Jew is of course purely coincidental. Just like Obama being black had nothing to do with a lot of his critics continually reminding us they were not being racist. ha!
What on earth are you ranting about? Bonkers. :cwm3:

Interesting to note that the Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) program "LifeLog" was cancelled the very day Facebook was established. "LifeLog" was a program designed to build a database tracking every minute detail of a person's life: what shows they watched, who they talked to, who they called on the phone, what their favorite color is, what magazines they buy, what books they read, what plane tickets they bought.
Coincidence? :scratchchin:
Looks like to me that the only thing you "missed out on" is handing personal information over to the government who is lol TOTALLY not selling it or using it for nefarious purposes because lol they're completely trustworthy as history has shown.

Didn't catch it all but seemed pretty much a dog and pony show complete with props and site plugs for those two "banned" individuals. Agree they sounded more interested in being 'seen' doing something rather than actually knowing the basic inner fb, web or app workings ahead of time to therefore know what direction to question. Shark eyes Zuckerberg looked stumped when asked about Spacebook :-X for the third time. Algorithm exchange from one was pretty interesting as he sighted terms and agreement having 3600 words and Data sharing portion having so many links that "how do people know what they are signing up for" and Zuckerberg gives him the run down on basics. Senator rewords the question 'what about stuff we're worried about not the fun stuff, and does Whats App e mail inform advertisers or does some algorithm spit out info to add platform'. Watching some of it and how people NOW are arguing the issue..ON fb reminds me why I didn't come online essentially until I started here ;D. With every key stroke you leave a mark.Quote:

How the hell did people let themselves become so dependent on social media. What the hell was wrong with forums. I guess I'm an old fashion internet guyQuote:

Many people have been "Zuckers" for the likes of Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Zucker.
Imagine them chuckling to themselves as they count their $billions thinking "a Zucker is born every minute".
What is the final outcome of all this then? I've not followed it (I don't have facebook so it won't affect me one bit) I get that they have been selling data and they track people to a ridiculous level but what is going to change after all this shizzle?
will they just stop selling the data and tracking people to the extent they are or could it mean the end of facebook?
All the stuff I have watched on Youtube looks poorly done, everyone questioning him only gets 4 minutes, it usually takes 3 minutes 30 seconds to get him rattled and then they just pass over to the next person which give him time to regain his composure and avoid the pressing questions.
I think face book will get a fine, slap on the wrist and carry on.
@Master Yeah but is that the most likely or worst case scenario?Quote:
