    If nothing else, this whole SCIF squabble will hopefully remind more Americans that their phones are really sophisticated surveillance devices.

        AOC is trying to gotcha Zuckerberg right now on Facebook’s decision not to fact-check politicians, but in some cases has run up against… Facebook’s policies.

        AOC asks if she can run a FB ad trying to lead black voters to the wrong polls. Zuck: No, that runs afoul of our policy banning voter suppression.

        AOC: Could I run ads targeting Republicans in primaries saying they voted for the Green New Deal? Zuck hems and haws: “I think probably…” Based on my own understanding, I believe the answer is yes, that would be perfectly permissible.

        The hearing is over and Zuckerberg left the committee chambers wordlessly. Just spoke to Rep. Dean and she told me she has no specific knowledge of a connection between Facebook and the Trump hotel.

        I also asked Rep. Dean about Zuckerberg’s testimony on the Trump meeting. Here’s what she said:pic.twitter.com/sL31jBScwj

        Yep, I’m sure that’s going to be the main takeaway for most Americans.

        This was – and I mean this completely literally – exactly what I was about to tweet. Verbatim. Good work.
