Listening to the Mark Zuckerberg senate testimony makes me so glad that we have a bunch of 70 and 80 year old senators handling our technology policy. 🙄

Omg I feel the same way. I hate to be ageist, but I don’t want tech policy from people who still need their grandchildren, children, or nieces/ nephews to teach them how to turn on their smartphones.

Orrin hatch: well, I just don’t know how a company that doesn’t charge for access survives.

Zuckerburg: Sir, we run ads.

God bless America for our great representation.

They are too old.
Previous administration gutted and removed the part of the federal Gov't dedicated to educating our aging law makers on tech issues.

One must assume that a senator with 42 years of experience recognizes what he does and does not care about, and know the answers to lots is his questions before he asks them. I assume Orrin hatch was making the point that Facebook is just a business doing business, and that people are free to remain oblivious if they choose to, but lack of understanding is no excuse for outrage anymore. Also, I assume he was running down the clock on any other senator getting excited about regulating Facebook.

He honestly just seemed like a generally confused old person. I’m not sure if there was any serious goal so much as someone who doesn’t understand social media, and apparently none of his staff that’s supposed to prepare him do either.

@d4, is it more likely that he dgaf or more likely that nobody in his entire office ed willing to help him understand basic undisputed functionality for five minutes? I think someone would have told him in advance that Facebook sells advertising if he actually wanted to know the business model for his own edification.

I (28F) went on a date and everything was going great until the guy (33M) revealed he was currently carrying an active handgun on his belt for protection. I talked to some friends and family about this and they don't think it's a big deal. The date was otherwise really great. I just can't seem to get over this piece.

Has anyone ever been in a relationship where you had differing opinions on the gun control debate?
