I love it when these senators thank Suckerberg and praise him for doing the bare minimum. It's very revealing.

Here's a fun drinking game. Drink every time:

-- Someone thanks Zuck for coming and/or praises him for the smallest thing

-- Zuck prefaces a sentence with "Congressman/congresswoman/senator"

-- A conservative congressperson complains about conservative voices being silenced

-- Zuck mentions something about AI

Enjoy your alcohol poisoning.

Congress knows all about receiving money from someone, and giving them something other than money, being two completely separate events that have nothing to do with each other

its not that they actually don't understand the subjcet matter. theres nothing hard to understand about facebook being a monopoly and entirely unregulated and using its monopoly power to gently caress everyone else over. the important piece is that they are paid not to do anything and the easiest way to do that is to let zuckerberg weasel out of everything

i enjoyed this article about the hearings: https://theintercept.com/2018/04/10/facebook-the-senate-is-afraid-to-govern-thats-great-news-for-facebook/

CA got the data by harvesting it from public profiles. Facebook also used to let people harvest their friend's data when they used an app, even if the friend never opted in. They had an "honor system" not to do it, so obviously that was extremely dumb.

FB doesn't sell data because there's far more money in being an exclusive platform that serves ads than selling the actual stuff you harvest from users. You can target 18-25 year olds but you don't get to see who those people are, because that way if you want to advertise to them you have to pay FB again and again.

I can't remember where I saw it and I can't find it now but apparently CA harvested data from 370k accounts in AUS/NZ with only 52 people taking their quiz thing. if that's true it's loving insane.

I stand by my initial interpretation, which is that Pompeo approached Hillary and she was so jazzed up at the idea of someone thinking she was still important and relevant that she didn't even consider what his policy stances were before agreeing
