Not only did Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg not testify under oath about the privacy violations of Facebook, but the companies CEO needed a booster seat.
From the Washingtonian, Here's Zuck's seat in preparation for his visit:
The extra padding is clearly visible as Zuckerberg faces Senators:
I'm waiting for the Senate transcript of the hearing so we can see if Zuckerberg was questioned on why his social media platform silences conservatives while routinely cooperating with Democrats like Obama.
From the New York Post:
A former media director for the Obama campaign said Facebook allowed them to access the personal data of its users in 2011 because the social media giant was “on our side.”
“They came to office in the days following election recruiting & were very candid that they allowed us to do things they wouldn’t have allowed someone else to do because they were on our side,” Carol Davidsen, director of data integration and media analytics for Obama for America, wrote Sunday on Twitter.
Davidsen said she and her team were able to gather massive amounts of personal information from Facebook users, as well as their friends.
“Facebook was surprised we were able to suck out the whole social graph, but they didn’t stop us once they realized that was what we were doing,” she said on Twitter.
