I was watching some of the Senate hearings on Facebook . Mark Zuckerberg testified on behalf of Facebook . I watch hearings now and then depending on the subject . All kinds of people from all industries have testified before Congress . They come in sit down and give their testimony . They give their testimony in a respectful manner with emphasis on what they they say .
Let's look at mark zuckerberg's testimony because he has taken his testimony to a whole new level . Not only did He prepare in what he was going to say or his answers but how he looked , His image on how he would look , appear to those who are watching . They or he took the time to see how he would appear while sitting , so they gave him a booster chair .
communication comes in many forms and one of them forms is nonverbal . As I was watching The hearing I was wondering why go through all the expense and effort . What is it that you are trying to communicate and why . One reason would be vanitee . Taking the subject of the hearing I would rule out vanity . Or at least most of it .
Maybe it's just to reinforce his argument to the Congress . Either way it is deliberate and has a purpose . To what end I can only speculate . To me it takes away some of the sincerity and give me pause to take his words as a truth and to question his motives . This is a subtle things that I am talking about . And in itself really has no meaning or does it .
Am I out on a limb here . What's your opinion or does it not matter to you . Are we so simply manipulated what we see or hear or do we question things . Go along to get along or take a stand on our opinion or our principles . Do we have an opinion or is our opinion just regurgitated from what we hear and see that others communicate to us .
To be honest I did not know why he was testifying. I read your post and went on a read a few articles. I understand why they are asking the questions they are; but I kinda wonder if it is too late? Shouldn't these questions be asked when it first starts? Shouldn't these questions be asked after the first live streamed murder of a child? Why now? To me it is more theater for the mass followers.

My personal belief For the hearing is that Facebook wants regulation . If the government makes regulation that would make it harder for any startup to compete . Stifle competition .
I thought the booster chair was absurd . It was used to give him more prominent ,Stature , up taller . I don't get it and he probably paid people , image consultants for this

That is fascinating. As if anyone sees him as an imposing figure physically. He still looks like a man-baby. What's imposing is the amount of money and influence he controls.
Maybe he has a bad back. Ergonomics.

Interesting viewpoint@wolfhart. Usually when corporations spend that kind of money to prep someone to that degree usually shows a lack of faith in an individual. In this case, I think the fact they went to such lengths to make sure he was properly attired and conducted himself in such a manner is because he has been the man-child. People don't take him seriously. That's his own fault. To me this shows that the board of directors and stockholders are worried.
You're absolutely right about the government using this or now having a reason to introduce legislation 'so this doesn't happen again' and to stifle any potential competitors.

The stock plummeted so many worries at least in the short term . That is his own fault as you stated .
People always say " I take responsibility " without action thats a BS statement to avoid responsibility .
To censor speech and call it hate speech because you disagree with it is wrong . And that's what FB did

So very true, no one takes responsibility at all. I admit I didn't get the opportunity to watch what happened, but you're right. To censor something then call it hate speech is very wrong. I think it was used as away to manipulate things.
I 'm falling into conspiracy theory here. I think the government knew and asked. What better way to confuse the masses and create that doubt due to 'fake media' They got caught and now they have to 'punish'. What better way to gather information, than phish your own patrons.

This testimony doesn't change anything, they got caught this time doesn't mean they won't do it next time.

maybe . my point was the subtle image and why . What nonverbal message was it conveying . For what purpose . It's all deception and it takes on many forms to sway an opinion .

I hadn't heard of this before now but I believe I was lost at the booster seat, lol. I am sure some money was passed around before hand and sadly, so many people are manipulated by these types of things.
