Got my sympathy moment for Zuckerberg's honest answer to whether he can assure Senators that every last ad/content from Russia is off the platform. Not only is that not realistic, honesty wish there was more focus on the domestic conditions that fueled the online manipulation.

The questions almost all start good—staffers briefed them well—and then devolve into misunderstandings. So telling. This is failure of us as media and tech press and pundits, and obfuscation and complexity as practiced by Facebook—indeed, most of tech.

Business interests vs. human interests. When history of all this is written, Myanmar will be a piece that won’t be ignored. Some of this *is* complex. That was an egregious shrugging of responsibility. They should have made it a giant priority in 2013.https://twitter.com/rafiqcopeland/status/983865814334849024 …

Rafiq Copeland @RafiqCopelandReplying to @KevinFoleyIn Germany they have 1200 German language content reviewers for 40million users in order to meet the government enforced 24hour review threshold. In Myanmar for 30million it is 'dozens' and they've only just been hired. This doesn't come close.@zeynep2 replies 54 retweets 77 likesShow this thread -
Or—Myanmar is the one issue I think about most. Introducing virality to an ethnically-tense situation with few counter-balancing institutions is potent. Not a game. We have billions more coming online.

I'm half-expecting Zuckerberg to break into a song today... "You don't understand what power is... You don't understand what glory is..."

Zuckerberg keeps saying that you have control over what other people you share stuff with on Facebook. Sure. THE QUESTION IS HOW WE KEEP FACEBOOK FROM COLLECTING DATA ON US. Facebook tracks us online, offline, on and off the platform, cross-device and even BUYS external data.

Replying to @autkud
They don't stop the data collection from my understanding; they stop ad targeting. I want a global do-not-track. Turn on once for browser, device, person, etc. You're out. Not just on Facebook, either.
