Mark Zuckerberg Testifies



Today (Wednesday) is Day 2 of Mark Zuckerberg's testimony. Yesterday he was well rehearsed but so many things appeared as diversions and BS. Will it really take 5-10 years to institute privacy safeguards? Can the simulation last that long? Was Facebook and other social media tools created to monitor and control humans? Need I ask?
