@AC Re: Good. Now close FB down

Sorry, the real world doesn't work that way.

Technically Zuck lied to Congress which would lead to jail time.

But that's a different story.

Here you don't send him to jail, you sue them, collect millions in the form of a fine, and then they correct the action.

The worst thing that Congress can do is to remove FB and even Google's qualified immunity because its been found that they are censoring / managing content based on ideas. Not being a neutral platform.

(Hate speech and illegal speech [e.g. Nazis in Germany] are a different issue)
