he screwed over his partners in order to gain control of FB,cause he sure as hell was not capable of even understanding how the Company works or why it works. As long as he keeps getting all those Stock Options and Perks. When AOC mentioned Peter Theile,the look on Zucks face told volumes about who,what and Where and Why about Zuckerberg.

His responses are timid, thoughtless, suspicious. The Board of Directors doesn't change much at all. Is Facebook destined to join MySpace?

Zuckerberg was highly unprepared for this little pop quiz, and showed that he wouldn't put up with a minute let alone an hour of the inhumane treatment he routinely doles out to his employees and contractors.

Just to sharpen up the point of the line of questioning Rep. Porter is pursuing, I would ask how much Zuckerberg makes from Facebook annually? Just roughly. Six figures? Seven? Eight? Nine? What would it cost Zuckerberg annually to bump salaries for every employee or contractor to $50 an hour and provide them with health care benefits including mental health treatment.

If Warren is the nominee, then I expect Porter will become a crucial, trusted spokesperson.

That there are wealthy companies out there that really do not give a damn that they are breaking their own employees with horrifying content that is even allowed to be sent to them.

Don't tell me that Facebook actually needs employees to view grotesque things put on their website in today's advanced computer age. Facebook just wants to be able to be the vehicle for grotesque crap and still be able to say that they played no part in pushing it onto others.

He is not a good person. I hope Facebook implodes - it’s been so damaging. It’s hard not being on it, socially, but when I see Zuckerberg then I’m glad I’m sticking it out.
