Rep. Porter questions Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg at House hearing 

Bahaha, that's hilarious 😄

Ohhhh LAWD!! lmao 🤣🤣🤣

Hahaahhahahahahaha

hahahaha spot on! best comment so far

Lol :)

In an interview she reveals the reason why she's so effective with questions is that she doesn't ask a question she doesn't know the answer to. So, it's up to the person being questioned to respond truthfully, or waste her time with lies. If you're straightforward and honest with Congresswoman Porter, it'll go easier for you. If not, you might be in a viral video shortly after.

@Mommy Dearest but that's their job! plenty of these congresspeople just don't want to do their job

zurzak ne-etra we’ll not one enforces it so...

isn't funny how Zuck tries to creat a good guy image doing charities yet refuses to give proper working conditions to his workers?

Keenan Thomas in the description it has the date of the hearing, you can use that to look up the hearing on C-SPAN. There it will have the title of the actual hearing, and usually at the beginning of hearings the chairman of the committee will outline the purpose of the hearing and what the committee overall is trying to establish. Certain committees are also responsible for scrutinizing the departments whose name they bear, in other words they hold the cabinet secretaries accountable and give the American people an opportunity to see how the administration (Of the day) is doing in various departments. And committees do sometimes have power, when they’re analyzing certain bills sometimes they can die in the committee process. Say you have a bill that is not cost effective, sometimes the bill can be killed in the house ways and means committee to give an example. Also when you testify before congressional committees, you take an oath that carries the same weight as testifying in a court of law. In other words you can be charged with perjury if you lied to Congress in your congressional testimony. You can also be subpoenaed if they need to talk to you and you’re deliberately avoiding them. To give an example say you’re at the CEO of a cellular company and you sold the meta-data of customers to foreign governments, and just like in court you You can be held in contempt. I feel I should mention you can assert your fifth amendment liberties Regarding the right to remain silent. As for representative Porter herself, and the purpose of her line of questioning you can read in the video description.

MrWindershins Imagine what she’d be able to accomplish in the Senate where they get more time to speak.

She’s a former teacher, they know how to grill people even better than lawyers, and adhere to the same concept; never ask a question you don’t know they answer too.

Yeah cause she doesn't pontificate and hog the mic trying to give speeches.

@@martinrotvig but it helps that she was also a lawyer too. Her skills as a lawyer and professor are serving her well as an accessible and relatable politician.

@@kettle2293 Honestly, she says a lot more through her line of questioning than any speech other politicians give. As my English teachers have taught me while teaching us how to write poetry, the most effective writing is knowing how to say a lot with a few words. She's doing the same thing with her 5 minutes by asking pointed questions that reveal so much about the situation based on the terrible or lacking answers she receives. Gotta love her!

She should run for President. She's very similar to Bernie Sanders.

The thing that's special about her, is that she's one of very few American politicians on this level who actually works FOR HER EMPLOYERS - the people. She's not working for her own benefit, hoping to get a cushy lobbying job after a stint in congress giving some company everything they want. She does what the is SUPPOSED to do - she works in the best interest of American voters. She stands out, because most of her peers (even in her own party) does not appear to be doing the same thing in my eyes.

Yet, everything will continue as before.

They have spent millions to keep her off the ballot 😑

Indeed.😊 Agreed.

Her mentor ran for presidency, Warren, who speaks like this but the American people didnt vote for her because her biggest priority was to change policies and fix our system in the long run and not nessisary out trump. So now, you all get biden...good job.

Have you ever watched Donald Trump speak in front of the American People?

Porter is like Bernie Sanders but younger. She should run for POTUS. Her vision is very similar to Bernie and especially being a single mom. Impressive.

Congress gets more done than the president anyways

and not only her, AOC as well...we have to keep an eye on these freshwomen, they do an amazing job and indeed they represent the regular people

since she does not have the same interests as corrupt corporations and governments

Yes she does!!!👍🏽

@@giovannizanoni6353 The difference is that this lady appears to have a head on her shoulder and AOC barely qualifies for the bar she used to serve drinks at. Compassion is one thing. Lacking wisdom and experience is another.

Mark was also a "regular person" Why will he work as content monitor with the education , achievements and success he has achieved (which you can only dream) It's the most stupid question And those content moderator know the conditions before they join the job, it their choice , don't blame. She is just jealous of success, and she rants , doesn't matter if she add some legal terms to her argument (which are obviously stupid)🤷

vLad Why is this seen as a good point of her. He is the CEO of one of the largest tech companies in the world. He hires lawyers exactly for the reason that he is unskilled in that department. It is absolutely ridiculous to think that he’d know about every legal argument and detail in the entire case. He is not a lawyer, they only give him a summary of what is going on in the case. Legal arguments are complex creations that take a lot of strategy, time and knowlegde to make. He cannot just answer these questions. If she wanted to know why something seems contradicting, she needs to ask his lawyers.

Tom Politiek you missed the point. She knows everything that you jsut said. shes jsut exposing Facebook by showing their CEO’s knowledge and responses to what they’re doing to the entire world by speaking about it with him on tv

@@FoshCake The topic is about data privacy. Making sure that the people who police the information circulating on facebook are credible isn't rocket science. Mark has lawyers working for him and for sure they talked to him about it as well. Katie also calls the office of the person being investigated a week before the hearing to advise them of what legislation she will talk to them about because if you haven't noticed, a lot of people plead ignorance of the law during hearings and it wastes her time. She even had the info up on screen for Mark so he can come up with an answer.

@@FoshCake The legal argument the congresswoman was referring to is quite simple, and it was the heart of the legal argument that FB was making. Basically, FB users signed a document saying they can't sue in court because there was no injury. It's NOT complex or difficult to get. If Mark even spoke to a lawyer for 5 minutes, which of course he speaks with his legal team all the time for hours on end, he definitely would've understood what FB was doing in federal court. He was just playing dumb and it's obvious.

@@FoshCake Wind mills There is no point in arguing with people who feel entitled to their righteousness. You just have to do what the congresswoman is saying - reclaim your time. And go about your own business. It is the entire point of such videos. So that people feel good about themselves. More moral and have better hearts.

You are beautiful, Katie Porter, and every time I see those bright blue eyes engage a witness, I feel there's hope. Not because the eyes are bright blue, but because of the brain and passion behind those eyes. And, it matters not what a man looks like, that would never even be a topic of discussion. The patriarchy is still afraid of smart, powerful women who have their act together. So, they try and take you down in the only way they think they can, and it isn't working and it isn't even true. You keep on keeping on. We need a Congress full of Katie Porters. And don't stop there, run for the Senate. Keep on going!!!

They insult her looks, cause they can't insult her brains or competence.

William Nelson right indeed!!!!!

Every time I see her in that chair I wonder whose career I'll watch go down in flames as I enjoy my popcorn. She is the manifestation of r/murderedbywords

Same here. The United States may be on the verge of collapse, but I think with the help of women like her, a new, Second United States will rise in its place.

Haha! Bet he didn' t like it.

You didn't think her questions were stupid?

MrTheclevercat how would

@@MrTheclevercat Well, she's in congress asking questions, and you're doing it from your Mom's basement, where you live. That should clear it up for you who is more stupid.

Yesss

Man I would love to be a Facebook content moderator.

@@matikhorasani3842 It's probably a good supply for sadist tendencies.

@@matikhorasani3842 You do realize that it's not just the crazy stuff, it's also the mind numbingly boring stuff too, right? Like...i dunno 5 minute crafts videos for 8 hours a day or something.

I've seen in (60Minutes or BBC, cant remember) somewhere that content moderators are outsourced, therefore not legally part of the FB company w/c will not entitle then to Fb employee benefits. One of the countries that they outsource are here in the Philippines. Pay well, but makes you insane. BTW the one that dictate how much you will earn in the call center company, bot FB.

She is a Mom of at least one teenager.

She's fantastic and demonstrating to veteran LAZY-ASS politicians HOW TO DO IT!!!

Ron Wade she was a professor at law school.

@@younglee4879 - She hates her body , you can always tell when a doll hates her body .

Cosmic Artist well she’s really intelligent so to me I only see a beautiful caring woman.

I agree and I am 68. But more importantly it should be someone with a proper education and with “regular people - common sense”. I am sick to death of the grade-school antics I have seen from some of these other congress members.

Katie Porter MUST become America's first woman president. MUST!!!

I'm a kiwi too and would like people to vote for her

If she ever runs, she's got my vote!

Sorry ladies - shes not in the running - but hey we have Jacinda. ( I hope that comment doesn't upset anyone!!!!)

@Crishta Avery LMAO... yeah he's "wonderful" for all those CEOs and other corporate elites whom he appoints to his cabinet or panders to with tax breaks that don't benefit anyone else. He's almost single-handedly responsible for the Doomsday Clock being pushed closer to midnight than ever before, including during the Cold War. Not only is he not doing anything about the looming reality of catastrophic climate change, he pulled the US out of the Paris Accord and publicly mocks a literal child for trying to do something about it. He's the most incompetent excuse we've ever had for a president (and that's saying a lot, there have been so many awful ones) and his approval rating has been below 50% for his entire presidency (you can fact-check that yourself). I'll laugh when his Me Too moment arrives and he finally goes to prison for being a rapist.

Si Wa I AGREE! Bring her on! ❤️

@@claudiamarin37 and graduated form harvard law school..wow

And then watching the prof deliver a kick ass lecture and actually drop the mic and walk out at the end.

@Tom Smith I guess that explains why when someone comes before her they never ever seem to have the answer then. It's too simple and too short for CEO'S? You've got a point, Tom Smith. Companies like Wells Fargo and Bank of America are our friends. We sheep just don't understand these complex issues. All those tens of thousands of fake accounts opened, those tens of millions of dollars just floating out there. For God sakes, please don't fire or prosecute these good people who have done so much for us sheep! BTW, Tom Smith, I'm looking forward to reading your college textbook of finance. Katie Porter will be more than happy to lend you hers.

@Tom Smith I guess you selectively deleted the part where she pointed out zuck has 60 people hired to get politicians on the take... You would've embarrassed by her in court.... She would hand you the mic so you could drop it from your trembling hand... Lol

YES

Hopefully she does..its time America has a Madam President..n she looks like a good candidate...plus,she really must sit in the Jan 6 hearing n screw Trump the Dotard

I don't think female presidents are allowed in America. They should change that.

No, that's not what being president is about. I admire her too but leave people in the job they do well. She is not presidential material in my opinion.

@@DByers-ci5kr if a mentally handicapped orange blob can be president then so can this stellar politician

Chuck Taylor and here you are again hiding n the comments of other people, yet too afraid to post anything if your own. Keep snipeing, we all see you now, troll.

Chuck Taylor first of all, she exposed that he doesn’t know how to answer a yes or no question 😂

@Chuck Taylor she has 5 minutes to ask questions, why should she waste her time, when he does not want to answer it?

@Chuck Taylor mr zuckerberg only trying to waste that 5 minutes

@@Retjudge Exactly.

What does her physical appearance have to do with anything?

You could have gone with Molly Weasley, the one of the baddest, fiercest female character in HP but you just had to pick Dolly Umbridge. smh

You made it about her looks. You lose.

@@divalea Except he literally didn't. He said she looks like the most hated Harry Potter character ever but acts like one of the most beloved. Literally the opposite of making it about the looks

@@333pinkelephant333 Wouldn't the comparison be because they have the same hairstyle and she's wearing bright pink? I don't see the issue here...?

That's because she is a regular woman. It counts when we have people in politics who arent born into enormous wealth or privilege. Shes awesome as hell

Chuck Taylor I see you Chuck Taylor!

@Chuck Taylor well to be fair if you ask a homophobe, do you hate gays and they answer "Mr congressman I do understand the need to respect the rights of an individual and that I shall hence forth try our best to...." anyone's gonna get annoyed that they are just wasting time

@Chuck Taylor She reclaims her time when they fail to answer a direct yes or no question.

Chuck Taylor So, you weren’t paying attention to what was being said. Her reclaiming time is because politicians tend to talk bs for as long as they can until time runs out. This is to avoid incriminating themselves while simultaneously trying to paint themselves in a better light. If you actually listened to the conversation being had, every question she asked was answered by Zuck with redundant and off-topic factoids disguised as if it were related to her inquiry (it wasn’t). She caught this right away and stopped the bs in its tracks. She’s sharp and hyper-focused on what’s important. I’m beyond impressed with her interrogation skills

Chuck you’re an idiot

He doesn't say no he wasn't qualified, he said that no that wasn't what he was saying.

​@@ThanatoselNyx Question was, "Are you saying you're not qualified to be a content moderator?" Response was: "No, that's not what I'm saying." Mark seems like a guy who speaks particularly. His response means he must also be unwilling to be a content moderator, because if you're qualified and willing, you'll probably get the job. Such a great move.

I think representative porter *is* an absolute savage, but could we not benefit from hearing Zuckerberg speak? He didn't even get to answer the questions

He wasn't going to answer the question. He was going go answer the questions he wished she had asked.

@@whatdisd His responses were unsatisfactory from the first words. He is capable of much more than "I'm not sure... I'm unfamiliar..." He wasn't even trying. The more she lets him just ramble on, the less she can press.

What a god dam power move

Katie " will you commit" Porter. She's a legend

Why clap? She didn’t give him any time to answer. And if he did answer and it was not according to her opinion she shut him down. You cannot possibly think this is a fair interview as she wouldn’t let him explain himself.

@@FoshCake She asked for a yes or no and when it was clear he was not going to give a yes or a no she cut him off to save him from spouting useless time wasting bullshit to dodge the question. She stops when her questions are answered properly. Anything less is unacceptable. We need more like her on both sides of the aisle.

Max K yeah but that is exactly the point, if you want to have any credibility at all with this interview, you should let him speak. He has a right to explain himself, and maybe he’ll say something actually valid. Saying that you assume he’ll come up with a bullshit answer and then shut him down... Also, taking into account the complexity and vastness of the investigation it is impossible to answer with a “simple” yes or no. The interview was poorly conducted, with no answers or explainations to her questions, because she shut him down. I will give you that she did have a point at the end with the 1 billion dollars. But making assumptions, that framing yes or no questions based on those assumptions and actually expect an easy answer is just not done.

Phillips Academy, Yale, and Harvard Law. NO ONE can intimidate her. GO, KATIE!!!

EXCELLENT COMMENT 👍 She's a strong woman who has a heart for regular people

Haha, then don't take the fucking job if you can't handle it

@@moe47988 what a shitty way to think of it... its unethical and inhumane

@@Hhg57876 its perfectly ethical. There are many jobs that require the employee to deal with difficult events... everyone in the medical field, forensic scientists, detectives, common police, NTSB workers, the military, etc. The only thing unethical is for the company to abandon that employee after they leave for mental health issues.

@@blusheep2 the people you listed are trained professionals on generally high wages, with full access to therapy and personal downtime. The people moderating on Facebook operate on a living wage because they're desperate for a job. If you can't see the difference you're as blind, clueless and heartless as Zuckerberg comes across in this clip.

​@@AC-pk4ut Well the military guys aren't but I take your point. I'd agree that people in jobs like these need to be supported emotionally. We aren't far apart on this I don't think. The fact still remains that you don't get paid in a job because of what you do. You get paid in proportion to how easy you are to replace. If they get paid lower wages then a police man its simply because they have people at the door willing to do the job for that amount. The difference between me and you is that I recognize the purpose of a business which is to survive while in competition with others that would like to eliminate them. I am with you completely in that I wish businesses would not check their humanity at the door when they go off to work and pay people as best they could but I am under no illusion that they have an obligation to do that.

Based on the few videos I have watched of her OWNING that room, yes.

Preach!!!! This country absolutely needs to continue to hear this woman and support her to the top. This is what our country desperately needs!!! Wow!

Cringe

That was the most "thug life" thing i have seen in congress

He doesn't care. Business regulations have been so gutted that it is the wild west right now. It hasn't been this bad since the Gilded Age. He walked away having wasted a day or two of his time and a few billable hours to his attorneys.

And the face she made, too.

It's about time, I'm tired of him and the Steve Jobs and the Bill Gates type pretending they're like common folk because they don't spend a lot of their vast wealth. Then you really don't need that amount of money now do you?

You should see her interview that she did with Samantha Bee! She's honestly hilarious on top of being a real hero for the American people. I love her!

Zuckerberg actually went through an hour while Porter just spent five minutes

Good one! The relativity of time . . . lol.

No. Then only a couple of congresspeople would get to question him. And you can be sure a whole hour wouldn't ever be given to people like Porter, who'll actually challenge the billionaire class' power.

Chuck Taylor I've seen your name come up in almost every comment made. What are you trying to accomplish? Why are you trying to cast doubt on the effectiveness of this congresswoman? As far as I am able to ascertain, you are the only one with an axe to grind. You are either a troll or have been paid by someone to insidiously cast aspersions on how Ms Porter does her job. Yes, you've been seen Chuck Taylor!

No you braindead idiot, you are missing the sense. She just brought up stuff that she can use against him, thats all she got. Its pretty disrespectful and rude to act like that, and also her performance. Mark staying respectful while she continues to spit in the pot. Does she want Zuckerberg to take over the world with his facebook? I would not drive Zuckerberg mad

You have, what you don't have is citizens smart enough to vote for them.

anapneo21 Can I recommend you watch The Great Hack on Netflix, also a 15 min TED talk by Carole Cadwalladr sp? And any articles by her.

It’s a can of worms that seemingly has no bottom to it! Social media has taken on a life of its own because nobody expected it to grow as quickly as it has. No boundaries were initially set for privacy concerns and it’s become increasingly evident that it has become a place where anyone with an axe to grind can grind it, without too many repercussions. This is a bigger issue than having Zuckerberg testify for a day or two in court. It deserves a commission being set up to monitor a full investigation and some concrete laws being enacted. It’s all to murky and open to corruption.

Chuck Taylor Hello Chuck Taylor, what possible difference could that make to the price of fish? Go away troll!

Oh no, this is S.O.P.! They speak in circles, or while using many words in order to waste time and not actually answer the question. To smart people, a “non-answer”, is usually a “no”.

This isn’t ignorance. This is covering his ass because he knows that the truthful answer would cause too much backlash

Michael I have a feeling he really doesn’t know the answers. He looked like a deer caught in headlights most of the time.

Some of it is feigned. Their lawyers prepped them by telling to answer basically "I don't know." to everything for plausible deniability. Sometimes they really are just that ill-informed, but we'll never really know, because the CEO's are always just performing. It's an act. Zuckerberg just happens to be really bad at it.

Chuck Taylor it may sound that way to you, but I have heard her say many times, I don't ask a question I don't know the answer to. She comes prepared to the back teeth. She likes to make sure none of her precious 5 minutes of question time is wasted.
