Mark Zuckerberg testifies before Congress

I would not be surprised if Zuckerberg were given a script of certain senators questions prior to this hearing.

A majority of the questioning seems targeted at inspiring consumer confidence in facebook.

This isn't about serving the American people, this is about protecting corporation's ability to sell citizens personal data.

You believe the Senators are conspiring with Facebook to protect their profit margin?

Why do you believe this? What would you believe if the questioning was harmful to facebook? Would you believe that Senators are conspiring with Snapchat to target facebook?

Throwing around some "call options on campaign support" be the best investment FB could make right now, to be honest (yes I'm jaded to the idea of an uncorrupted democracy).
