Zuckerberg hearing not a joke

Jeffrey Windham, Staff Reporter | April 23, 2018
Our biggest takeaway from Mark Zuckerberg’s testimony on April 10 should not be memes about his robotic demeanor, but knowledge that Facebook has been spreading misinformation and protecting itself from liabilities while leaving its user’s information exposed.

Lawmakers should be acting on behalf of the people by holding Facebook accountable and working towards security.

They’re smart for coming on to campuses because they can easily pry on the naive, more approachable students and get signatures or a simple response.

They are an essential part of our campus, whether we like their presence or not.
