Mark Zuckerberg

[walrus]

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 world

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.

Ha that is frickin great. I didn't watch it today had it on the radio during a drive. Props to whomever gave that question. 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.

Some other problem with testimony is that lets face it majority of questioners are not tech savvy. With a question like 'shouldn't we be able to choose who see's our update' Zuckerberg was just batting gnats. Until today I didn't know you could 'make calls' on FB. 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 media

I had a conversation about Facebook over the winter: 'Why aren't you on Facebook?' 'Well, it is very unsafe. A spy tool'. 'What? Are you some kind of conspiracy theorist?' 'I don't think these are conspiracies'.

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 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 . With every key stroke you leave a mark.

Another thing, I think this display of Facebook v congress shows how far behind our lawmakers are against these tech giants. For years the entire social media revenue stream has been from this targeted advertising. Any kind of "opt out" option for the user would fundamentally change the business model of these monsters. 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 guy

@El Kabong definitely a fucking alien, look at the fucker at 2:18

If only OzzyMan could narrate that I'd be so happy
