Yup. This is the kind of poo poo you can expect when an amoral sociopath like Zuckerberg manages to accrue a bunch of power and influence. Eventually they surround themselves with a bunch of fellow sociopaths- and that's always when the monstrous horror of their actions truly begins to take a toll on the defenseless.

we are now opening the committee for questions. mr zuckerberg, you’re in a desert walking along in the sand when all of the sudden you look down, and you see a tortoise, it’s crawling toward you. You reach down, you flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can’t, not without your help. But you’re not helping. Why is that?

"There's always a danger that Congress will step in and over-regulate. In your view, what sorts of legislative changes would solve the [cambridge analytica problems], and what kinds of legislation would NOT help?"

<Zuck goes on to explain that EULAs are long and people don't read them, and that people need control over their content on facebook. We also need to compete with the chinese government who are using facial recognition to identify everything."

"Do you know who Palantir is?"

I may or may not have been working avoiding cooperation in depthwith the Special Counsel's office

quote:

"Have you or anyone been interviewed by the special counsel's office?"

"Yes. I need to be careful here because our work with the special counsel is confidential, and in an open session I'm not revealing anything confidential."


"Actually let me clarify that; I know there MAY be a subpoena, but I know we are working with them."

"Six months ago you promised you'd prevent unwitting co-conspiracy with special interest interferences. These pages are still apparently active today."

<Zuckerberg clears throat.>

"Are you able to confirm whether those are Russian-created groups?"


"Senator last week we announced a major change to our polic-"

"Those specific ones."

"I am not familiar with those specific ones. We will work on that now, and verify the identity of every advertisers. This is basically what the honest ads act is proposing."

"Will you please find out that answer and get back to us?"

"I will. I think it's worth adding that we're going to do the same verification of admins running large pages. Even if they are not buying ads, we can make it harder for inauthentic interference efforts."

"It's going on a long time. Your service may have been used to perpetrate genocide in myanmar, completely avoiding your 'detection systems', and it took attempt after attempt after attempt of any civil rights group to get you to remove it. Why couldn't you have removed that content in 34 hours?"

"Senator what's happening in Myanmar is a terrible tragedy-"

"We all agree on that. How can you fix that in the future in 24 hours?"

"We're working on this. There's three specific things; we're hiring dozens more burmese since hate speech is very region-specific. We're working with Civil Society in Myanmar to identify specific figures instead of content. Third, we're standing up a product team specifically for removing this content in sensitive reasons like this."

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Yes senator the average American user has about eight different apps

"You don't think you have a monopoly?"{

It certainly doesn't feel like that to me!

"Why did you buy Instagram?"

Because they are very talented developers at making apps for platforms like we use?

"So why should we let you self regulate?"

WELL SENATOR MY POSITION IS NOT THAT THERE SHOULD BE NO REGULATION, BUT I THINK THE REAL QUESTION IS WHAT IS THE RIGHT REGULATION

"But you as a company welcome regulations?"

I think the right regulation can be okay.

"You think the Europeans have it right?"

I think they have some things right.

"Will you submit some proposed regulations?"

I'll have my team follow up with you, yes, absolutely.

"Do you think the average consumer understands what they're signing up for?" *gesturing to ToS*


I think the average consumer does not read that.

quote:


Does Facebook represent itself as a neutral public forum

"Here's how we think about this: There's certain content we clearly do not allow. Hate speech, terrorist content, nudity, anything that makes people feel unsafe. From that perspective, that's why we generally try to refer to what we do as-"

Are you a neutral public forum or are you engaged in your political views under the first amendment

"I will have to follow up with you on that."

I think there is a concern that Facebook and many other tech companies are engaged in suppressing particular stories, including perspectives that are conservative.

"Silicon Valley is incredibly left-leaning, and I try to root out bias at my company."

In your testimony you say you have 15-20,000 people engaged in content review. What are their political leanings?

"We do not ask people that when we hire them."

Do you make political firing decisions?

"Why was Palmer Luckey fired?"

I can commit that it was not for political reasons lol
