    Ok I think I figured it out. (Well, it's just a theory but it's as good as any.) The reason Dems & Repubs held Facebook hearing, which is unusual considering how much $ Facebook contributes to them, is because... (Continued) 1/2

        2/2...Facebook *wanted* the hearing to give Zuckerberg a platform to reassure the public, build confidence in his company, and set the record straight after the data incident. So Facebook wasn't *subject* to the hearing; Facebook engineered it. Just a theory. What do you think?

        I agree it was a big show. The lady behind Zuckerberg was smiling and laughing the whole time.

        I know I felt sick to my stomach looking at him & listening to him. It's responsibility of our government to protect citizens & constitution, ie 1st amendment rights. I heard the word hate speech thrown around way too much. That should be for a court of law not FB to determine.

        If the purpose of the hearing was to assuage the fears of the public, I don't think they accomplished that.

        Love to have it spotlighted how many congress members bought stock prior to the hearing and who Zuckerberg has donated to and when. Naive if we think there is no pay to play here! Am I wrong?

        Yes, those invested in Facebook, monetarily and philosophically trotted out their young man to answer/not answer the questions. Mr. Zuckerberg is in over his head. He should hire body guards rather than more lawyers.

        Senator Richard Blumenthal of Ct talking about honesty, integrity and the Syrian conflict is so ridiculous. This lying fraud who served in Vietnam, oh WAIT, HE THOUGHT HE DID, renouncing Trump. Blumenthal‘s face & voice & thought of him being a senator makes me want to puke.
