You are capping the potential profit someone can make off of their property.Quote:

Ocasio-Cortez to Zuckerberg: Why are you partnering with ‘The Daily Caller who has ties to white supremacists’
this is why ****ing morons are brainwashed against certain media, because nutjobs like AOC say this **** and people are gullible enough to believe it. it's ridiculous that people are this stupid, including AOC and anyone that wants to believe everything she says.Quote:
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg was questioned by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez during a hearing at the House Financial Services Committee on Wednesday about Facebook’s fact-checking operations.
“Why Facebook is partnering with ‘the Daily Caller’, a publication well-documented with ties to white supremacists, as an official fact-checker for Facebook,” asked Ocasio-Cortez, without providing or referring to any proof as to why she’s calling ‘The Daily Caller’ a publication “with white supremacist ties” on the House floor.
“We actually don’t appoint the independent fact-checkers,” Mark Zuckerberg responded. “They go through an independent organization called the Independent Fact-Checking Network, that has a rigorous standard for who they allow to serve as a fact-checker.”
“So you would say that white supremacist-tied publications meet a rigorous standard for fact-checking?” Ocasio-Cortez continued her question.
Ocasio-Cortez went on to ask the Facebook CEO also about Facebook’s practices with political ads and how would they screen and fact check the ads.
“Do you see a potential problem here with a complete lack of fact-checking on political advertisements?” Ocasio-Cortez asked.
“I think if you were to run an ad that had a lie, that would be bad. That’s different from it being, in our position, the right thing to do to prevent your constituents or people in an election from seeing that you had lied,” replied Zuckerberg.
What, exactly, is everyone so impressed with while watching AOC and Katie Porter question Zuckerberg?
Do you realize how these congressional "inquiries" work?
Point 1…The speaker and the committee cairs determine the topics, time allowed, and who they wish question and who gets to ask what questions.
Point 2…It is totally 100% partisan and the repubs do it as much as the dems. It all depends who is in power.
Point 3…The objective is to make the person being questioned look bad. And the questioner has the upper hand by far. AOC consistently talked over Zuckerberg's responses and when he have a response she didn't like, she ignored it and moved on to another facet of the inquiry. And she managed to get her racist slant introduced which was probably the overall objective to start with.
Porter asks Zuckerberg to commit to spending an hour a day for the next year watching employee complaint videos (or content videos whatever that is) and then makes him look bad and unsympathetic when he does not commit to that absurd request. The guy is the head of a huge corporation worth billions with thousands of employees. No one will commit to such a stupid request let alone anyone at that level. But Porter got what she wanted…she made him look bad.
That's the point of these aired hearings…make the person look bad. And the person in the hot seat cannot say what they want towards the congressional without being penalized.
And to repeat…both parties do it. When/if the repubs regain control you will see more of the same.
To be impressed by these two is ridiculous.
One of the things that I like about Katie Porter is how she asks questions of the CEOs and they give an answer that directly contradicts a legal filing that their company has made in court. She did it with Facebook and Data (Mark Zuckerberg) and she's done it before. And most importantly she will do it again.Quote:
