'sorry for the hate speech'

GOP did not give a single shit when search engines, social media and content services filtered out right-wing content and thinking. Did not give a single shit when their kids were being pumped full of (((heinous))) garbage.

And now, even as a minority party, libs compell hearings and inquiry into the equal sharing of social media data capabilities with the TRUMP campaign. These boomer Republicans are giving the country away, lazy doddering fucking faggots.

Zuckerberg's response to the flaws of Facebook is to make his own company an even more powerful gatekeeper.

Zuckerberg: "You are not allowed to have a fake account" on Facebook.

Whoever coached Zuckerberg clearly instructed him to push the "started in my dorm room" line. I've heard it at least 3 times, and I'm only half listening.

The congressional staff that prepped these Senators for this hearing didn’t do a great job. These questions are ill-informed and nonsensical.

Sen. Cantwell: Do you think Palantir has ever scraped data from FB?

Zuckerberg: Senator, I'm not aware of that. (Later says he's "not that familiar with what Palantir does")

*Palantir was cofounded by Peter Thiel, who serves on the board of Facebook*

Markets soar today on the realization that in fact nobody will be held accountable for Facebook’s many lapses of judgment or ethics.

Time.com's report immediately after the election was laudatory. Extracting data from Facebook, it said, "will transform the way campaigns are conducted in the future." It concluded, presciently, that by 2016 the Obama campaign's approach "is almost certain to be the norm."

The Obama campaign's extensive harvesting of social graph data triggered Facebook's internal safeguards, according to an article a year later in The New York Times Magazine. But Facebook allowed it to continue. "It was more like we blew through an alarm that their engineers hadn't planned for or knew about," Will St. Clair, a programmer for the campaign, told the magazine. "They'd sigh and say, 'You can do this as long as you stop doing it on Nov. 7.'"

"We ingested the entire U.S. social graph," Carol Davidsen, director of data integration and media analytics for Obama for America, told The Washington Post this week. "We would ask permission to basically scrape your profile, and also scrape your friends, basically anything that was available to scrape. We scraped it all."

Facebook had no problem with such activity then. They do now. There’s a reason for that. The former Obama director of integration and media analytics stated that, during the 2012 campaign, Facebook allowed the Obama team to “suck out the whole social graph”; Facebook “was surprised we were able to suck out the whole social graph, but they didn’t stop us once they realized that was what we were doing.” She added, “They came to [the] office in the days following election recruiting & were very candid that they allowed us to do things they wouldn’t have allowed someone else to do because they were on our side.”

It is possible that having a political system that advantages candidates based on their ability to raise large sums of money and spout talking points on TV is a bit of a problem.

The audience literally laughed at Zuck when he gave the BS answer about not feeling like a monopoly. That was the moment.

Keep in mind that Klobuchar is the ranking member of the Antitrust Subcommittee and yet it took Lindsey Graham to ask if Facebook is a monopoly. She's highlighting her legislation.

Senator: Terrific. Thank you.

One thing is clear from the Facebook hearing. Many Senators on this committee have no idea how any of this works, are reading staff-written questions & have very little ability to ask meaningful follow up questions.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3944773&forum_id=2#35809344)

Seems like it would be good to have some staff-conducted questioning in this hearing, and in any other hearing on a fairly technical matter (not just technological matters)

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3944773&forum_id=2#35809352)

Senators worried about the length of the Facebook privacy statement can't be bothered to read and understand one of their own questions ahead of time.
