I find it weird and almost offensive that we need laws to allow parents to raise their children without interference from busy body people who think kids should live in a caged environment.
I can’t imagine what my childhood would have been like without the freedom to roam our neighborhood. The elder generation wants to call kids “Snowflake” if they are insecure without realizing the restrictive parenting methods create insecurity.

I’m still having some trouble understanding all this fuss about #Facebook. I never once thought anything I put on Facebook was somehow “personal” or that it would be “protected”. If you freely volunteer to post information on the Internet how do you expect privacy?
Another thing that bothers me is that beyond the data issue is this howling concern about Fake News on Facebook. And not one word about #FauxNews.

I see this nonsense of grilling Zuckerberg as the culmination of Hillarity and the Dimocrat party seeking a scapegoat for their loss.
They have been whining about Russia, etc. since she lost and this only obfuscates the reality that we have two dysfunctional political parties and their elite cadre’s inability to maintain our democracy.
Facebook didn’t cost Hillarity the election. She and the DNC did that for themselves and now we encourage this charade to cover for them.

I am ashamed Durtbin is my Senator if he is this clueless. Asking Zuckerberg personal questions is EXACTLY proving the point that what you VOLUNTEER is your choice. Zuckerberg did what everyone should do —— choose what to share and what not to. Durtbin acts like Facebook ripped this information out of people with interrogation like his.

Zuckerberg missed his chance to make the point. His answer should have been, “I choose not to share that information, because in this country we have a right to privacy —— and I presumed that is what these hearings are about and the point YOU are trying to prove.”

Another amusing take on this Congressional travesty. We all know our government surveils our phone calls, emails, etc. We have no idea how they use it against us. But they have the audacity to interrogate social media because people freely give them information. If these hypocrites were the least interested in privacy they would put a stop to government surveillance.
