But people who can't verify identities to Facebook's liking are kicked off. Real customers are treated differently.https://twitter.com/arielstulberg/status/925448512518619136 …

The answer must be more than "trust us we are good people." We know: Faceboook can absolutely swing close elections.https://twitter.com/TEDTalks/status/924591758595493888 …

Silicon Valley giants control, package, target, nudge, and sell attention—not speech. 21st century is different.https://twitter.com/matthewstoller/status/925453915566505989 …

Not just that they are ads. Facebook, deliberately, flattens all content & lets ads bleed into feed, shared, etc.https://twitter.com/donie/status/925456668481253384 …

As a loud critic, I feel these hearings aren't doing the hard work of figuring out making the networked public sphere healthier, saner.
I feel like I need to run parallel feeds, one criticizing Facebook, Google, Twitter, one correcting the weird, misplaced hearing questions.
Wait, I jinxed it. A good question, about computational inference that Facebook can do--can FB tell people who are insecure? YES YES IT CAN.
Jinxed the jinx. It's not just that they can see what's on your profile. Their data can computationaly infer things you did not disclose.
