Really since 19967 in the Telecommunications Act of that year which was big sweeping changes, the committee hasnt tackled anything this big since then. How do you plan to focus 31 members tomorrow to try to get the questions you want answered at that hearing . Thats just on the republican side. Its a big committee. Its bigger than just facebook. How people profit from your personal data goes well beyond facebook. Well be looking at this over time. But tomorrow it is about facebook. It is about Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of this great innovative company. But what happened along the way . What were peoples expectations . What were the agreements . Did they keep their side of the bargain . These are the trust questions i think American Consumers have.
