Opinion: Google and Congress Botch an Opportunity
- llampx 8y agoMy opinion is that this (having CEOs of big companies appear before Congress in televised sessions) is mostly just theater, meant to appease the masses. I remember when Mark Zuckerberg was in front of Congress or some committe and all he had to do was repeat "my team will look into this" and he didn't have to answer any hard questions. If we want to hold tech companies accountable, we should realize that politicians these days are either incompetent to do any real hard questioning themselves, don't care or are paid to look the other way. Looking at all these televised sessions its a rare politician that asks actual hard questions.
