The way the hearings happened(I only watched the house hearing), it looked to me Z was gaining in confidence as it went on. Most of the congressmen IMO didn't make effective use of their allotted time; most used part of their time to make statements and not to ask pointed questions to Z; some really peripheral things like rural broadband and suspected online sales of restricted drugs and FDA actions on the same took a lot of time and weren't enlightening; and many were demanding yes or no answers to possibly nuanced questions.One female congressmember from Florida, Kathy Castor I think,, hardly gave Z time to respond, and thereby left all answers to her questions in fragmentory state.
There was much repetition, in some instances multiple speakers asked questions in very similar vein.At the end of it it remains unclear to me whether any laws has been contravened attracting any kind of liability.

I couldn't help but get the feeling that Zuckerberg knew in advance that that particular person was going to be lobbing praise and softballs.
