      Weeeeelllll. I ordinarily prefer reading transcripts. I have a feeling that any "media" moments will be on loop. 😬

      Zuckerberg, just now: "There will always be a *version* of Facebook that's free." That's a huge shift if it is not a slip of the tongue. I doubt it. That was an obvious question he'd be prepared for. I think Facebook is pondering a shift to non-ad model, at least as an option.

      Btw this is my @Wired article about the 14-year apology tour that Sen. Thune just referenced. My key point is that all this isn't about Zuckerberg personally; these downsides are intrinsic to the business model.https://www.wired.com/story/why-zuckerberg-15-year-apology-tour-hasnt-fixed-facebook/ …

      This one gets me the maddest. Facebook had no excuse being so negligent about Myanmar. Here's me tweeting about it IN 2013. PEOPLE HAVE BEGGED FACEBOOK FOR YEARS TO BE PRO-ACTIVE IN BURMA/MYANMAR. Now he's hiring "dozens". This is a historic wrong. 😡🤬🤬https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/359368606166958080 …

      Last year, I pondered the "first social-media fueled ethnic cleansing." With ethnic tensions & expanding online hate speech, is it Burma?

      With this question: does Facebook have real competition? Nope. There is no real alternative to Facebook: no substantive competition, no real market discipline on the company. It's simple as that.

      I'm stuck on the Myanmar/Burma answer. Now hiring "dozens..." 😡😡It's the second biggest refugee generating crisis in the world; an accelerating ethnic cleansing where Facebook played an instrumental role over many years, with articles written on this, people raising alarms...

      Look, Senators have smart people briefing them, and they have tried to ask reasonable questions. But they often get lost in the details and that's the point. An ordinary person *cannot* meaningfully consent to this level of complexity and obscurity.https://twitter.com/ASankin/status/983799338676596742 …

      While it's totally legit to dunk on old senators for asking dumb questions about Facebook, this is the level of knowledge that most people have about a thing they use every day. You shouldn't have to be a tech expert to understand the privacy of your online data.

      Zuckerberg: ~"I hope what we do with data is not surprising to people." When I explain to people what Facebook does with the data and also how it collects and aggregates data on people, people's jaws are on the floor. Smart, educated people, too. It's all very obscure.

      So, the fact that he didn't clarify means that Facebook would use Messenger content in targeting? (He just hung on to the fact that WhatsApp is end-to-end encryption). Anyone know?

      Sounded like he made a clear distinction between WhatsApp and FB Messenger.

      But deliberately didn't volunteer the Messenger answer.

          Yes. That was fully intentional, IMO.
