Everyone is glad not to be Mark Zuckerberg. Facebook’s CEO testified before the US Congress this week on a growing scandal linking his company to Cambridge Analytica, a political consulting firm with ties to the Trump campaign. The hearing, deemed “extraordinary,” by senator John Thune, was as much a referendum on Facebook as the erosion of America’s digital privacy. It was also the ultimate non-apology.
Pale and visibly uncomfortable in a dark suit instead of his regular hoodie, Zuckerberg stuck closely to company talking points. “Facebook is an idealistic and optimistic company,” he told lawmakers. “For most of our existence, we focused on all the good that connecting people can do… It’s clear now that we didn’t do enough to prevent these tools from being used for harm, as well.”
