    zeynep tufekci Retweeted Democracy Now!

    The point here is not that they're old (although we also need younger representatives in Congress). It's that this stuff is complex, ordinary people and legislators don't understand, and even Zuckerberg struggled with some basic answers—and surveillance by obscurity is not okay.https://twitter.com/democracynow/status/984045252532211714 …

        The pundit who described this hearing as "a 5-hour call to tech support" hit the nail on the head.

        They were let down by their younger aides,pages and interns, someone should have downloaded their Facebook data sat down with them unzipped it and showed it to them, it would have shocked the hell out of them.

        This. That's the whole point of having aides and staffers.

        That feeling..when 7th graders understand & discuss implications of security methods used to manage student ID data, but general citizenry has no idea what they're talking about while donating their "Legal ID" to Facebook social graph for Society-wide correlation.#DigitalLiteracy

        Yes. Sneaky & manipulative. When they decide to take over people's phones, they pushed a FULL screen for permission to be the phone's default sms provider. You had to scroll down below the page for the miniscule opt out That's evil to pull on users w/ limited tech skills

        Replying to @zeynep

        Did they get bogged down in details and lose sight of the larger picture? I feel like asking about specific privacy settings is somehow less important than questioning how privacy in general interferes with their basic business model.

        There isn't enough research into many of the impacts either. Many of the allegations of 'social engineering' / 'political interference' are at best incomplete; even commercial advertisers are questioning the value of digital. This (Forrester) was very goodhttps://www.forrester.com/report/The+End+Of+Advertising+As+We+Know+It/-/E-RES137501 …
