Watch live: Zuckerberg, Dorsey testify before Senate [video]

It's not your fault that this is the top comment in the thread at this time, but I find it somewhat ironic that I watched the testimony on disinformation -- and it didn't go too much like this comment suggested it would -- and then came here to find the top post is dismissive, incorrect speculation about the content.

What counts as misinformation: generalization? Omission? There might be a partisan-associated divide among these forms of lying, but I don’t want to risk generalizing about Republicans and Democrats nor omitting that I didn’t watch the testimony either.

The real takeaway is they should disseminate the transcriptions not the videos. One thing I feel comfortable generalizing about is, everyone should fucking read more.

At some point, I don't even think some of that nuance matters anymore.

Spin is out the window. Straight up lying with easily disprovable claims is in.

Anyway, I dont think the speculation is off the mark, since every previous session was pretty much just like what user said. Also, judging from this feed I'm reading, its not even far off.

Just watch it. @furyofantares is pretty much spot on here.

This hearing is somewhat more productive than the previous ones, and I'm guessing that it's because the election is mostly over. However, there are still plenty of predictable loaded questions.

Let's not forget that Jack's beard looks straight out of Lord of the Rings.

But that would insult Lord of the Rings. His beard and nose ring, with his smug manner, combined with the alien-looking Zuckerberg and his style, should provoke everyone's primal instincts to avoid anything these guys have built.
