Wired Magazine recently noted that Zuckerberg has a 14-year history of apologizing. That seems to have caused some consternation on Capitol Hill. https://nyti.ms/2GN9HA8 pic.twitter.com/gRts3jPiUw

Accountability will only go so far for Mr Z. There are so many plays for the prosecution to work at... Still as he sits in court, $$$$ is entering his bank account(s) Those legal fees are like a drop in the ocean. When you have it made you have it made...

It wasn't Zuckerberg fault, he put trust in a British company who used his information of customers to make money. America has no understanding.

Z is being let down, badly, as ar we all, by a country that makes no noticable effort to secure its net. If you would like to blame a business for doing its best in non-workable conditions, feel free to. Criminals are getting way too free a ride when businesses blame themselves.
