Actually, the tone of the article wasn't that senators asked "piercing questions that Zuckerberg failed to answer", but that they were asking "basic questions that he failed to answer despite the answers being clearly available on his company's website".
- dsacco 9y agoTo be fair to the parent commenter's point, I don't think your restatement of the article's characterization is any more accurate with respect to the hearing itself. There were basic questions he failed to answer, complex questions he did answer, and various questions were not well-founded enough for him to give a coherent answer.
- _jal 9y ago...And various perfectly well-formed questions he clearly did not want to answer, and dodged. His answer about logged-out tracking cookies is the most glaring example from the article, but the most serious one he dissembled over was the questioning from Harris.
- dsacco 9y agoThat's also true.
- 908087 9y agoI wasn't commenting on the hearing, though. I was commenting on the way the parent post attempted to portray the article linked in this thread. That said, I watched the both hearings in full and I can't recall a single complex, non-softball question being answered. Unless, of course, you consider "Senator, this is a very important question" followed by some time wasting non-answer material an "answer".
