Isn't google more vicious and powerful in data gathering. Why is google being given freepass.
- chooseaname 8y agoWhy do you think they are getting a "freepass" [sic] just because Congress is going after Facebook at the moment?
- dominotw 8y agoYes. Was facebook randomly choosen in coin toss?
- toss1 8y agoGoogle isn't getting a freepass, but they are sending their CEO up to testify, and he is apparently doing so truthfully. In contrast, FB is often sending proxies instead of the CEO, and when the CEO did appear, he was apparently not candid. Not sure if this rises to the standard of felony lying to congress, but if so, I'd not be sad to see Zuckerberg do time for that, considering the scale of damage he's foisted on our society.
