yet Zuckerberg is testifying as I write, denying, dodging the responsibility and questions. I can't believe it, instead of laying down and confessing, he is trying to justify and blame everyone but Facebook.

How was this possible? I don't recall ever having access to private messages in the FB API. Was this ever available to developers?

I don't think Facebook's e2e messenger existed at the time this took place.

It makes sense. Investors perceive that based on today's hearings Facebook will continue to generate piles of cash. This is most likely correct.
