#12Earlier quoted context omitted.
Are they going to go after Microsoft, Yahoo, and Google because people have second emails?
Spam filters are apparently ripe for regulation. https://www.thedailybeast.com/gop-rep-greg-steube-asks-googl... > Pichai attempted to explain individual email account settings to Steube, prompting the congressman to interject when the Google chief said the “primary tab” is for friends and family. “Well, it was my father who is not receiving now my campaign emails. So clearly that familial thing you’re talking about…
It's not so surprising that these people are ignorant, but what's really frustrating is that they don't even realize their own ignorance. If they did that, maybe they'd get help writing these questions from somebody with a clue.

#13To what degree should companies be responsible for goods which, without structured or disciplined use leads to harm, especially when the good in question has an apparently reasonable use case?
Those harmful selfies and beach body pics must be banned, think of the children!

#15"She said Facebook takes "the privacy, safety and well-being of all those who use our platform very seriously, ...""
The magic incantation.
Flawed reasoning: "We take X seriously" therefore there are no problems with X.
Contrast "seriously" with "seriously enough".
There must be more to it. There must be some science behind the use of the "take X seriously" statements.
"We've committed to not retaliating for this individual speaking to the Senate," she said.
Do they know who it is. Do they believe retaliation would be legal.
"Facebook's brand is bad, and I think Facebook, you know, would freely admit that," said Katie Harbath, a former public policy director at the company. "But, you know, nobody else is gonna come and defend the company besides themselves."
Why won't anyone else come and defend the company. Wouldn't advertisers, users (ad targets) and investors want to defend the company.
"In this next chapter of our company, I think we will effectively transition from people seeing us as primarily being a social media company to being a metaverse company," [Zuckerberg] told tech journalist Casey Newton this summer.
Try to escape bad rep. Social media bad. "We are not social media. We are metaverse."
"They've been able to weather these storms over and over again," said Yael Eisenstat, who worked at Facebook on elections integrity for political advertising in 2018.
"What I think is different this time is that I don't think they're fully understanding that internal employees have questions now."
After Facebook has "connected the world", then what. No more growth. What then.

Seems like the Senator was asking if they would commit to preventing secondary accounts used by adolescents. Which is hard but far from impossible.

Based on viewing of the video, Senator Blumenthal doesn't understand what "Finsta" means.
One needs to understand the concept of "Finsta" before they can ask that the concept be prevented.

#18Instead of "blasting" how about regulating it?
Social media has proven time and again they are unwilling to do the right thing.
They perform human experimentation and must be regulated for public safety.

It is an on going activity.
