Tough session in the United States Senate for Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, who was visibly nervous at the questions of the Senators, who put them on the ropes on more than one occasion.
Yesterday, for a while we gave a note of humor to Mark Zuckerberg's appearance during his appearance in the United States Senate, which was very boring, like all these appearances. All this starts with the Cambridge Analytica scandal, with a massive data leak on the social network, which adds to the problem of Russian propaganda in the 2016 US presidential elections. The highlight of the entire appearance has been that Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, has finally intoned the mea culpa: 'We didn't do enough, it was my mistake, and I'm sorry.'
The creator of the most important social network in history, so far, had only wrung the bullet and said they would work on it. Yesterday he was quite nervous at the appearance and practically drank the entire Mississippi. This case is very serious, since the consulting firm that stole the data worked for the Donald Trump campaign and the company's privacy policy. The appearance was quite tense and in some moments Zuckerberg was put on the ropes.
The most tense situation was when Senator John Thune berated him for the number of times he had apologized in ten years: 'After 10 ten years saying they could have done better, what is different about today's apology? Why should we trust Facebook to make the necessary changes to ensure people's privacy? '
Zuckerberg was seen cornered on countless occasions, who has highlighted that they are working to improve the dissemination of false information and has also spoken of the influence of Russia in the 2016 elections. He has also highlighted that they are working on various artificial intelligence tools to solve these problems.
There are people in Russia whose job it is to try to exploit our systems, and other cyber systems. So it's like an arms race. They get better and we have to get better too.
However, believing that Facebook influenced the elections in any way is a pretty crazy idea.
For us, the highlight was when a congressman showed him the 'Terms of Use' of the printed social network, with more than 500 pages and asked him, if he really thought that someone had read and even more understood, tremendous brick, to which I emphasize, that it was quite unlikely. What's more, has anyone read any of the licenses for any software, application or social network?
