>"hat's why he kept conflating post-visibility settings with privacy / tracking settings." Indeed and if Congress had bothered to bring in some subject matter experts they would have been able to him out on these disingenuous answers and deceitful statements. I'm sure Zuckerberg believes he may have won here but I think he lost in the court of public opinion. I think his testimony did him a lot of damage as it shows just how disingenuous and dishonest he really is. I hope a lot of FB employees were able to tune in to these hearing so they could see their leader for who and what he really is. His scripted and willfully misleading testimony was fundamentally no different than the big banking or big pharmaceutical CEOs that get called to Washington during a crisis.

> I'm sure Zuckerberg believes he may have won here but I think he lost in the court of public opinion. I think his testimony did him a lot of damage as it shows just how disingenuous and dishonest he really is. I highly doubt this. If the court of public opinion is an average of general public sentiment, my hunch is the probability a vast majority of the public paid any attention at all—and understood enough to see through the cleverly scripted and misleading answers—is far closer to 0 than 1.

  I can point to three articles in three major daily news outlets(NY Times, Washington Post and Bloomberg) in the last 48 hours that question the sincerity and accuracy of his congressional testimony. There's plenty more but these are off the top of my head.

    That doesn’t reflect the court of public opinion (at least not yet). That’s merely a measure of journalist opinion at 3 outlets.

      >"That’s merely a measure of journalist opinion at 3 outlets." No as per my actual comment - those are but three off the top of my head. The same sentiments have been echoed in many many more outlets since Wednesday.
