The question that put a garnet color to Mark Zuckerberg
The question that put a garnet color to Mark Zuckerberg
When Mark Zuckeberg went before the special commission of the United States Congress to give explanations about the Cambridge Analytical scandal , he submitted to a bathing and massage session. In Washington , the senators who questioned him asked him questions as peregrine as for the income of his company "How does Facebook earn money, if it's free?" A good gentleman called Orrin Hatch, 84 years old, told him. The CEO of Facebook gave a little smile and said 'with ads'.
It was the anecdote of a day, in which only Senator Dick Durbin put him in trouble with a question about his private life that served as an example to get the colors: "Mr. Zuckerberg, would you feel comfortable sharing with us the name of the Where did you stay last night? "snapped the Democratic politician. "Ahm ... (Laughter) Ah ... No!" Replied a troubled Zuckerberg.
That the appearance was a success for the interests of Facebook was clear to see the stock market movement of those days: in the two days that lasted the appearance the shares of the company revalued by 4.5% , which meant a profit of 3,000 million dollars to the founder of the company.
But in Europe, things have been very different. First, because of the strangeness of the chosen format. Twelve MEPs released their first questions, 43 in total, and then Mark Zuckerberg had 15 minutes to answer them . And as there was no time for replicas, the CEO of Facebook decided not to answer directly to any and read a statement in which he came to say the same thing he said in the United States , something that could be summed up in something like: 'yes, that we have done wrong, but in the future we will not do it again. But do not believe that we are going to change either. '
