Zuckerberg's cheat sheet at senate hearing

&gt; Mark Zuckerberg’s private cheat sheet for today’s Senate hearing wound up online after the Facebook CEO failed to use the proper settings to protect his private data from public eyes.<p>Quality writing.

I think these kind of &quot;piling on&quot; articles do a real disservice, because they distract from the significant, valid privacy concerns about Facebook. I mean, come on, calling it a &quot;cheat sheet&quot;? If you were giving testimony to the US Senate in a highly anticipated hearing, don&#x27;t you think you would prepare? Were you hoping he&#x27;d just wing it?

&gt; His notes also referred to the fact that only three percent of Facebook employees are African American and five percent Hispanic.<p>What was the point of this note? To point out how facebook needs to work harder on their diversity culture?

Did he have a choice to opt out of that hearing?

&gt; [...] at the same time, information he willingly revealed by not actively covering it.<p>Everything in that cheat sheet raises a lot of &#x27;valid points&#x27; and he probably knew not all of it would be discussed.<p>I&#x27;m leaning towards the fact that he&#x27;s a smart cookie, and that he really wouldn&#x27;t be opposed to it being photographed.

Looks like this post was buried... currently top on <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;hckrnews.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;hckrnews.com&#x2F;</a> but completely missing from the front page (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;</a>).

From his notes:<p>&gt; GDPR (Don’t say we already do what GDPR requires)<p>I was hoping someone would bring up whether they’d be applying those rules globally, not just in the EU. I missed the end of the testimony but for the majority that I listened to, I don’t recall such a commitment.

Inaccuracy in a Senate Judiciary Committee isn&#x27;t fun. Cheat sheet seems smart.
