Mark Zuckerberg is currently testifying before Congress. I’ve heard “I will follow up and get back to you” more times than I care to repeat.
Lame.
Here are some highlights so far.
Zuckerberg stated that he does not feel like Facebook has a monopoly going on, which LOL.

Zuckerberg: "It certainly doesn't feel like that to me." https://t.co/wJqYcrXvsI pic.twitter.com/2ocevbZz7g

He said most people don’t read privacy docs.

He said they’re open to regulation.
.@LindseyGrahamSC: "Do you as a company welcome regulation?"
Zuckerberg: "I think if it’s the right regulation, then yes." https://t.co/wJqYcrXvsI pic.twitter.com/UPdLDacQhb

He expressed one of his biggest regrets, which was that they “were slow in identifying the Russian information operations in 2016.”

This exchange was incredibly awkward. Zuckerberg was squirming like a bug.
.@SenatorDurbin: "Mr. Zuckerberg, would you be comfortable sharing with us the name of the hotel you stayed in last night?"
Zuckerberg: "Uhhh no." https://t.co/wJqYcrXvsI pic.twitter.com/fGZFxzenum

He also confirmed that they’re working with Mueller.
“I know we are working with them,” Zuckerberg said.
“I want to be careful here, because that work is confidential. We are in open session and I don’t want to reveal anything that is confidential,” he continued.
“I have to clarify that I’m not sure that there are subpoenas, there may be,” he added.
"I know we're working with [the special counsel]."
