Yeah, I partly watched, partly listened to the Senate hearing this afternoon.

I thought that Zuck seemed quite nervous, initially, anyway. Guess that's understandable.

One of my fantasies, as he was being grilled, was of those senators asking Google some of the same questions they were asking him.

Zuck couldn't name a platform just like FB that people could use instead then they asked if he was a monopoly. Don't think he knew what to say. I had visions of somebody scrambling to be the next FB alternative.

If the government doesn't know, how the hell would FB know if it was a shell company?

Some of those older senators did not understand how it all works. Some of the 80 year olds don't use the internet, they have their staff do that stuff.

Anyway, it'll be interesting to see how this plays out. Zuck said he was okay with FB not being self-regulating. That kind of talk makes me cringe.

Yes! Lots of alternatives, just wish the masses would use them.
