Rep. Porter questions Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg at House hearing

@@kettle2293 Honestly, she says a lot more through her line of questioning than any speech other politicians give. As my English teachers have taught me while teaching us how to write poetry, the most effective writing is knowing how to say a lot with a few words. She's doing the same thing with her 5 minutes by asking pointed questions that reveal so much about the situation based on the terrible or lacking answers she receives. Gotta love her!

In an interview she reveals the reason why she's so effective with questions is that she doesn't ask a question she doesn't know the answer to. So, it's up to the person being questioned to respond truthfully, or waste her time with lies. If you're straightforward and honest with Congresswoman Porter, it'll go easier for you. If not, you might be in a viral video shortly after.

Keenan Thomas in the description it has the date of the hearing, you can use that to look up the hearing on C-SPAN. There it will have the title of the actual hearing, and usually at the beginning of hearings the chairman of the committee will outline the purpose of the hearing and what the committee overall is trying to establish. Certain committees are also responsible for scrutinizing the departments whose name they bear, in other words they hold the cabinet secretaries accountable and give the American people an opportunity to see how the administration (Of the day) is doing in various departments. And committees do sometimes have power, when they’re analyzing certain bills sometimes they can die in the committee process. Say you have a bill that is not cost effective, sometimes the bill can be killed in the house ways and means committee to give an example. Also when you testify before congressional committees, you take an oath that carries the same weight as testifying in a court of law. In other words you can be charged with perjury if you lied to Congress in your congressional testimony. You can also be subpoenaed if they need to talk to you and you’re deliberately avoiding them. To give an example say you’re at the CEO of a cellular company and you sold the meta-data of customers to foreign governments, and just like in court you You can be held in contempt. I feel I should mention you can assert your fifth amendment liberties Regarding the right to remain silent. As for representative Porter herself, and the purpose of her line of questioning you can read in the video description.

The thing that's special about her, is that she's one of very few American politicians on this level who actually works FOR HER EMPLOYERS - the people. She's not working for her own benefit, hoping to get a cushy lobbying job after a stint in congress giving some company everything they want. She does what the is SUPPOSED to do - she works in the best interest of American voters. She stands out, because most of her peers (even in her own party) does not appear to be doing the same thing in my eyes.

vLad Why is this seen as a good point of her. He is the CEO of one of the largest tech companies in the world. He hires lawyers exactly for the reason that he is unskilled in that department. It is absolutely ridiculous to think that he’d know about every legal argument and detail in the entire case. He is not a lawyer, they only give him a summary of what is going on in the case. Legal arguments are complex creations that take a lot of strategy, time and knowlegde to make. He cannot just answer these questions. If she wanted to know why something seems contradicting, she needs to ask his lawyers.

@@FoshCake The topic is about data privacy. Making sure that the people who police the information circulating on facebook are credible isn't rocket science. Mark has lawyers working for him and for sure they talked to him about it as well. Katie also calls the office of the person being investigated a week before the hearing to advise them of what legislation she will talk to them about because if you haven't noticed, a lot of people plead ignorance of the law during hearings and it wastes her time. She even had the info up on screen for Mark so he can come up with an answer.

[@moonstaff1234]

@@FoshCake The legal argument the congresswoman was referring to is quite simple, and it was the heart of the legal argument that FB was making. Basically, FB users signed a document saying they can't sue in court because there was no injury. It's NOT complex or difficult to get. If Mark even spoke to a lawyer for 5 minutes, which of course he speaks with his legal team all the time for hours on end, he definitely would've understood what FB was doing in federal court. He was just playing dumb and it's obvious.

He's the most incompetent excuse we've ever had for a president (and that's saying a lot, there have been so many awful ones) and his approval rating has been below 50% for his entire presidency (you can fact-check that yourself).

She stops when her questions are answered properly. Anything less is unacceptable. We need more like her on both sides of the aisle.

[@FoshCake]

Max K yeah but that is exactly the point, if you want to have any credibility at all with this interview, you should let him speak. He has a right to explain himself, and maybe he’ll say something actually valid. Saying that you assume he’ll come up with a bullshit answer and then shut him down... Also, taking into account the complexity and vastness of the investigation it is impossible to answer with a “simple” yes or no. The interview was poorly conducted, with no answers or explainations to her questions, because she shut him down. I will give you that she did have a point at the end with the 1 billion dollars. But making assumptions, that framing yes or no questions based on those assumptions and actually expect an easy answer is just not done.

It’s a can of worms that seemingly has no bottom to it! Social media has taken on a life of its own because nobody expected it to grow as quickly as it has. No boundaries were initially set for privacy concerns and it’s become increasingly evident that it has become a place where anyone with an axe to grind can grind it, without too many repercussions. This is a bigger issue than having Zuckerberg testify for a day or two in court. It deserves a commission being set up to monitor a full investigation and some concrete laws being enacted. It’s all to murky and open to corruption.

[@indigothecat]

Some of it is feigned. Their lawyers prepped them by telling to answer basically "I don't know." to everything for plausible deniability. Sometimes they really are just that ill-informed, but we'll never really know, because the CEO's are always just performing. It's an act. Zuckerberg just happens to be really bad at it.

They aren't legitimate questions. They are entrapment questions like if asked you, Hey Billy Bob "Are you still molesting children?" Yes or No? Any answer you give you look bad. That's the game she and other in committee play.
