In his testimony before Congress, Mark #Zuckerberg acknowledged that Facebook "didn't do enough to prevent [our] tools from being used for harm."
Sen. Lindsey Graham: “Do you think the average consumer understands what they’re signing up for" on Facebook?
Mark #Zuckerberg: “I don’t think the average person likely reads that whole [terms of service] document … there are different ways we can communicate that.”
1/ Sen. Durbin to #Zuckerberg: “Would you be comfortable sharing the name of the hotel you stayed in last night?”
2/2 Durbin: “If you messaged anyone this week, would you share with us the names of the people you messaged?”
#Zuckerberg: “Senator, no, I wouldn’t choose to do that publicly here.”
Durbin: “I think that may be what this is all about.”
Sen. Schatz points out that Facebook’s terms of service are “about 3200 words with 30 links; one of the links is to your data policy, which is about 2700 words with 22 links.”
“People have no earthly idea what they’re signing up for,” he says. #Zuckerberg
#Zuckerberg says that by the end of this year, Facebook will have more than 20,000 people working on security and content.

1/ We're halfway into one of the most scandal-plagued presidencies ever. But on Fox News, Hillary Clinton is still the villain.
The network can’t stop talking about her — even though nearly two years have passed since the 2016 election.
2/ Since Trump’s inauguration, Fox News has spent far more time covering Clinton than any other cable news channel. It’s not even close:
3/ Whether they’re discussing the Supreme Court, Russian election meddling, immigration, or pretty much any other story, Fox News pundits somehow find a way to paint Hillary Clinton as the bad guy.
The network has shown Clinton’s face more than 2,000 times in recent months.
1/ Having trouble wrapping your head around family separations at the border?
Here’s some context on how families end up in this situation:
2/ It begins with asylum seekers from deadly nations like Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador taking a dangerous journey to the US-Mexico border. bit.ly/2JZyaQk
3/ To get into the US, they could go to a port of entry (like a border checkpoint) and claim asylum, which is legal.
But those ports can’t process asylum seekers quickly and that border officials sometimes refuse them.
