Reminds me of the senator that asked Zuckerberg how do they make money [0], and Zuckerberg simply said they run ads. What a way to use your questioning time, with something that was a google search away.

- decremental 4y agoOften the point of seemingly obvious questions like that is to have the person on record making that statement and potentially what they might omit.
- walkhour 4y agoMaybe, but Zuckerberg smirks, also the guy behind him, and also the blond lady next to him. It seems more likely to me that the Senator was out of his depth.
- pbhjpbhj 4y agoThat's a lie by omission, surely. They sell data too. Ads and analytics, game data, user association data, user attention data. But "ads" is pretty euphemistic -- to the point of dishonesty -- when the ads are targeted political campaign messages, for example. Cambridge Analytica was at least enabled by Facebook. I'd say that their operations could be summed up more reasonably by "Facebook track people".
