Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg made his second of two appearances before Congress on Wednesday, enduring a five-hour session of questions from members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee. There were some of key Zuckerberg's talking points that stood out to me:
- Every time Facebook was asked about data it accumulates from users outside of what they explicitly upload, Zuckerberg needed to “have his team follow-up”
- For every questioning on privacy, Zuckerberg emphasized that Facebook gives users tools to control who sees their data. However, the questions were about the data Facebook owns about each user, but the answers were just about content users upload to Facebook
- Whenever Zuckerberg was pushed about market power, he emphasized that the average American uses “eight different communications and social network apps to stay connected to people.” However, he never spoke about the fact that Facebook controlled three of them
