Mark Zuckerberg: I Can Barely Handle This CNN Interview, What Makes You Think I Can Handle Congress

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, fresh off of not apologizing for the social media giant’s failure to prevent sketchy election data firm Cambridge Analytica from partnering with a similarly sketchy app to allegedly scrape 50 million users’ profile data, briefly emerged from his gilded panic room on Wednesday evening for an interview with CNN’s Laurie Segall in which he largely repeated his PR department’s talking points.

With all the charm of an awkward teenage robot in a wig, Zuckerberg finally clarified that he was “really sorry that this happened.” He reiterated that he believed the company made big mistakes, first by allowing app developers far too much access to user data in previous builds of the site, and later by blindly trusting that Cambridge Analytica and other companies involved would actually delete it just because they sent them a sternly worded letter. Zuckerberg committed to notifying all impacted users that third parties may have run off with their data.

But the longer the interview dragged on, the more it seemed like Zuckerberg didn’t really have a good answer to anything and just wants this whole mess to blow over.

And that jerkwad was thinking about running for President? Sounds like he wouldn’t be able to handle the strain of running for student council.

In Obama’s last campaign data mining was used with face books full cooperation and this was totally legal. It was very successful and left wing pundits bragged about it as they should have. It was legal and successful.

Donald Trump’s campaign did the exact same thing and it was perfectly legal as was Obama’s campaign. However, it is now bad because Trump did it.

I’m sorry. I’m reeeally, reeeally _sorry._

[BradyLS]

Don’t count him out just yet. All will be forgiven for The Zuck if he promises to share user data with the DNC and no one else. Heck, the media will cover all his gaffes and trespasses as the simple, nervous mistakes of an earnest, though novice, servant of the public good. The Party will also rally to his defense and tut-tut anyone who would criticize him.

[Scooter100]

Ask the Zuck to comment on Leader Technologies and the CIA origins of FB? Ask him about the original patent theft? Ask him who funded the Oscar winning propaganda film "Social Network"? Ask him if he ever programmed a line of code in his life?

Zuck is a patsy.

To hammer this home.....Mark Zuckerberg is a left-wing progressive globalist pawn and a surveillance dupe of the CIA, NSA, FBI. From the facts, it is questionable whether he had ANYTHING to do with the founding of FaceBook. FB was and is a data-gathering tool of the establishment, put in place by the establishment.

Because he thinks he’s the smartest guy in the room. He treats everyone with thinly veiled disdain

LOL, I was going to remark if you saw or read Social Network you would know Zuckerberg doesn't handle this kind of stuff with delicate answers.

But that fact coupled with this whole affair exposes a very significant problem for society and government. The truth of the matter is FB/Zuckerberg make their fortune off of selling exactly this kind of data to all kinds of people. There is no good way for them to ratchet it back without sacrificing shareholder interest.

He cannot have it both (or 3) ways. He cannot expect people to provide data on their lives, and promise that this data wont be sold for all sorts of nefarious purposes, and worse that it won't be used by the government to bypass 4th and 5th Amendment restrictions. I recognized this problem very early on, and never - I mean never - use any of the social platforms.

The movie “Social Network” is a complete work of fiction, sorry to bring this news to you. See my other posts.

[monkeyshine]

It is an interesting question - I had never heard of any of that story before. But I have noticed that compared to his peers he is remarkably insular. Compare him to the Google boys, Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, and others - those guys were (and are) always pushing the edge and working on something beyond their core vocation. But Zuckerberg, afaik, doesn’t seem to do anything. No rocket ships. No cars. No speed trains. No giant airplanes and no weeble-wobble scooters.

[monkeyshine]

LOL you don’t have to explain that to me. Every movie is a work of fiction.

go to #16 and read the history....the world will change before your eyes.
