The dude is responsible for ruining the entire country and old people are still joking and wonder in awe on his intelligence. Maybe because he might give them donations in the future? Also Ted Cruz?? Seriously??!

Congress is too old and clueless to ask smart questions. Zuck's acting all Lore from Star Trek. FB stock is up just because people keep thinking they'll beat this shit, which they won't.

Users are fleeing Facebook and sharing their stupid posts on .... oh right theres no alternative. They will easily beat this.

It's a bit annoying when half the questions are basically 'how does Facebook work?'. Tech is still magic to most of the people asking the questions.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The senators asking the questions are completely clueless. EU/GDPR will properly deal with FB.

I'd like to SHOUT OUT TED CRUZ for complaining about the real issues: Facebook censoring Chick Fil A. Not kidding.

You mean whining by ted cruz. That was literally all he ever did. Also didn't he force a bunch of college students to attend his doomed presidential campaign announcement and ask for their cell numbers?

Let's assume that Facebook helped get Donald Trump elected. (Whether this is true or not, we'll find out). Are you saying Trump is ruining the country?

Then why does Facebook take the entire responsibility for "ruining" the country? What about Donald Trump himself and Trump supporters in the U.S?

I feel like Donald Trump's persona and his supporters having an influence in the country is way more complex issue than Facebook ad campaigns.

Tech is still magic to most people, not just politicians.

They absolutely will beat it. Facebook isn't done until there is a direct competitor, not "an alternative". Plus, they own Instagram and Whatsapp which are becoming increasingly valuable properties.

Just wait till earnings. They are going to beat, and anyone not onboard is going to feel the full power of FOMO.
