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

Every single congressional hearing is like this. They just sit there and chastise the CEO... It's a PR stunt, public spectacle kinda thing.

All the real work is done by lobbyist in closed door meetings.

For a lot of industries there is actual knowledge or a subject expert on the staff. That is why a lot of folks actually have phone numbers for certain staff of a Senator / Rep.

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?

I apologize if you misconstrued my enthusiasm for Ted Cruz's idiotic line of questions as supportive. It was not.

To me it seems like the GDPR will hurt Facebook’s competition, the ad networks, far more than it will hurt Facebook itself.
