All the reports of Zuck being “grilled” by lawmakers now seem exaggerated. What unfolded is that senators grilled themselves by showing incompetence. I was hoping that Facebook would be put in its place but a something different happened: Senators showed how out-of-the-loop and unfit to regulate they are. “I just think you ought to be a little careful about expecting policy makers to have personal and deep expertise in each of the areas that they make policy in.” -Senator Schatz. This is a real concern.
