[@andrewalberti9121]

Actually it is quite interesting what's happening here, probably historical. Common people are finally becoming aware of what digital technologies lead to. They are becoming aware that every single word we write or say in Internet is stored, including what I am writing right now of course. They are becoming aware that such a huge amount of data is stored mostly in private companies computers. Common people (and that includes senator John Kennedy) evidently lack knowledge and deep understanding of how digital technologies work. But this is changing right now: such an understanding is finally starting coming to life. Slowly, but it is. However, people are... well, people. Rather than admitting their own ignorance and superficiality when sharing to the world private information, it is much easier and convenient to accuse Mark Zuckerberg for the intrinsic problems that digital technologies imply. The Cambridge Analytica scandal is the perfect excuse for something much bigger: people are understanding that the digital technologies are killing privacy.

+Haylee Guggia - This attorney is purposefully playing the 'dumb as a fox' argument. Don't undersell his smarts. I saw exactly what he was doing there. What you don't realize is that evidence has been brought forth that Facebook keeps copies of everything you deleted, including personal photos, private messages, postings, etc. You think you've deleted it, but they still have it. They even capture information from your other devices such as private text messages from your cell phone, cell phone photos and other data without your permission! How about them making a copy of everyone on your Facebook friends list AND, everyone and their phone numbers that are in your cell phone contact list, WITHOUT YOUR OR THEIR PERMISSION OR KNOWLEDGE? Did you know they do this? That is what he was getting at.

[@CasuallyObservant]

(cont.) The fact that when you download something as innocuous as a 'flashlight app' or an app that allows you to put angel wings & halos or bunny noses on your selfies, you have been forced to click 'agree'.

Chris Cosens, forget the other guy. You are not missing his point.

[@cmcosens1]

What "secret" information do you put on Facebook? I don't understand. If you don't like it, don't use it.

[@CalicoArchives]

As a tech guy I can explain the breach a bit better than most. In the beginning of Facebook a lot of the profile information was pretty accessible but Facebook later made it much harder for third party applications to be able to see your information. Currently you allow the third party application access through your own consent when you use the app or you typically can't use the app at all. The problem is during the period when user information was more open the damage was already done. But now companies have made bots that will make fake user accounts and will try to friend you and if you accept, those bots will scrape all the information they can see on your profile. It's difficult to know if it's a bot at a glance because they will use your friends names and images so you'll probably accept without evening knowing it was a bot. The senators should be asking questions more along the lines of what precautions are being taken by Facebook to deal with these bots that prey on the human factor.

[@cmcosens1]

Agree with you 100%. My point is that the majority of this time was spent wasted on pointless questions that an average Facebook user would know the answer to. They wasted their precious time. If you get the chance to grill Mark Zuckerberg, do a little research and ask some legitimate questions. Just my opinion.

This is dangerous for me & my family

" It would be a breach"- "yeah, it would be a breach"

May GOD love Senator Kennedy!!!

Dumbledore said calmly

[@brucevandermeulen4170]

This Senator doesn't care who he's dealing with, he lays it out there.

[@dubtownman9508]

This is a man who's home we would all look forward to being invited for lunch/dinner... a chat and great counsel...

[@WarfightersWorkshop]

5:29 That's the Southern way of saying "It better not be breached or y'all getting put down boy"

[@rickhinojosa5455]

Warfighter Your observation was excellent. I was wondering what the heck the whole line of questioning was about because it didn't seem to accomplish anything...on the surface. But yes, it makes sense he was warning him. Thanks for the insight. 👍🙏

[@jaymemangano1154]

He smartly.

[@toddfritz8683]

"Mark Zuckerberg, you're no John Kennedy."

[@thefoxsees2193]

You go Sen Kennedy! You know your right...

[@deanconaway4501]

What happened to the propaganda problem? That is the part I want to hear. Censorship is the real problem. If they don't like what you say they boot you off for a period of time. It's complete BS.

[@patrickarmildez4736]

Does this senator even know how to use Facebook? Data were what we put in the app and consent is in our hands by putting those in the app; So Senator Do you have full control of your data?

[@pauletteterry2878]

They sure have shared profiles, when they weren't supposed to

[@TJjjjjjjjjjj]

Lol 😂 this guy doesn’t even have the most basic understanding of how Facebook / social media in general works. So why should anyone take advise from him on a topic he clearly doesn’t understand

[@Bob-yt9qi]

I love senator Kennedy's honesty and humor

[@salvailmichele]

That was coached. They practiced that discussion.

[@veliem3935]

Mark is lying through his teeth. He knows very well that we all have to agree with that user agreement in order to access Facebook. Props to Senator Kennedy for calling him out!

[@KidHueey]

imaging getting lectured by a boomer that probably doesnt even know how to open facebook on a fancy cellular telephone

[@kamireedwalter6737]

"SENATOR"....FB BELONGS TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER YOU ALREADY KNOW THAT?

[@steely_Bob]

What we got here, is failure to communicate

[@susanreeves6629]

I love his accent. As a New Zealander I remember the 60's TV show Green Acres. Senator Kennedy sounds like Mr Haney to me..lol
