Tomorrow, Mark Zuckerberg will put on his man pants — in this case, trading his typical comfier jeans and a hoodie for an decidedly stricter dark suit — and face a pair of Senate hearings about the misbehavior of the company he founded.
What’s particularly irksome to me about the lead-up to this event is not its inevitability (was there any doubt this particular train was going to be barreling down on these well-worn tracks?) or its obvious building tension (fraught public face-offs are nothing new since, well, since forever) or even the likely kabuki-drama ending in which it is more noise than impact (do we imagine this appearance will solve all that is so very broken with the social media company that this boy genius has built).
