The Congressional hearings involving Mark Zuckerberg showed that Congress is not equipt to deal with the problems social media has brought to society. I am highly skepticle of anything the senate convinces themselves is the right way to deal with social media; it seems like an attempt to set the stage to grab more power and control than anything else.


Marketplaces don't self-regulate. Providing a level playing field, such as explicitly detailing a fiduciary duty to keep a subscriber's information confidential, is the role of government.


At least we are clear that “Facebook doesn’t sell data, Senator.”
