PWS: After two weeks of being pummelled by multiple invasion of privacy scandals, plus numerous investigations and lawsuits that have caused facebook’s stock value to plummet, CEO Mark Zuckerberg has finally agreed to testify before Congress to explain his company’s illegal data mining.
Zuckerberg has accepted an invitation to testify before the House energy and commerce committee, according to an aide familiar with the discussions, reports The Guardian. A date has not yet been set, and the spokesperson for the House committee declined to confirm reports that the hearing was scheduled for 12 April.
The Senate judiciary and commerce committees have also invited Zuckerberg to appear at hearings. His decision to testify before the US Congress was first reported by CNN, and contrasts with his refusal to appear before members of parliament in the UK.
Anyone else think his testimony will consist of, “On the advice of counsel I will not be answering that question.”
@beachmom – or just plain out lying. Everything I’ve seen him say on any “news” station has been a complete lie, trying to play the innocent little harmless boy ploy. I wonder if hiliary has given him pointers.
I do not understand why everyone (including Congress) seem so concerned about metadata being shared, but are completely unconcerned about Facebook and Google’s censorship and demonetization of conservative voices and websites.
@Mr. Anth Ropy, SQUIRREL!
Hey no sweat, at least Obama got what he wanted.
Mighty white of him …
izlamo delenda est …
So he’s going to testify, like he has any choice? He’s Owned
is he not?
A few years ago, a local TV station that fancied themselves protectors of the consumer, ran a feature on a new website who’s mission was to insure that all your “personal” info on the web was accurate. All you had to do was go to the site and enter your name to see all the “inaccurate” info on you, and give them your correct perts & such… um-hmmm. I’ll get right on that.
My dad always said; people are dumber than anybody.

Nice start to the list. Add:

“Suckerface” on “Facesucker” (mine)
The guy’s face gives me the creeps. I figure a 12″ cast iron skillet would make an improvement.
He’ll have to break out a fresh gray T-shirt…dress for success!
