We didn't take a broad enough view of our responsibility and that was a big mistake, he continued. "It was a big mistake. And I'm sorry. I started Facebook. I run it and I'm responsible for what happens here."During the five-hour hearing, he fielded questions on Facebook's data collection practices, the company's alleged monopoly power and his views on regulating internet companies.But with 44 senators asking questions, an unusually high number, and just five minutes of time allotted for each, there was limited potential for followup questions to and grilling of the CEO.Perhaps the most memorable line of the afternoon came from Sen. John Kennedy, who slammed Facebook for its complicated terms of service agreement."Your user agreement sucks," said Kennedy, a Republican representing Louisiana. "It's not to inform your users about their rights. I'm going to suggest to you that you go back home and rewrite it."Zuckerberg did stumble in answering a couple questions, including how Facebook staff came to the decision not to notify users of the Cambridge Analytica data issue when it first came to light in 2015.On the whole, however, investors appeared to like his performance. Facebook stock ended the day up 4.5%.The appearance marks the first time that Zuckerberg has testified before Congress. Zuckerberg, 33, swapped his usual gray t-shirt and jeans attire for a dark blue suit and light blue tie."It's extraordinary to hold a joint committee hearing. It's even more extraordinary to have a single CEO testify before nearly half the United States Senate," said Sen. John Thune, chairman of the Commerce Committee. "Then again, Facebook is extraordinary."When Thune pressed on why people should trust him now, after years of his promises to do better, Zuckerberg admitted that "we have made a lot of mistakes in running the company.""It's pretty much impossible to start a company in your dorm room and grow it to the scale we are at now without making some mistakes," he said. Now, however, "I would say we are going through a broader philosophical shift in how we run the company."For most of its history, Facebook focused on "building tools," he said. Now, Facebook recognizes the need to "take a more proactive role."The Congressional hearings come nearly a month after news broke that Cambridge Analytica, a data firm with ties to President Donald Trump's campaign, accessed information from as many as 87 million Facebook users without their knowledge.The data scandal wiped away tens of billions of dollars from Facebook's market value, prompted political scrutiny on both sides of the Atlantic and even raised the once unthinkable question of whether Zuckerberg should step down as CEO. It also reignited long simmering concerns about Facebook's impact on the world's privacy, civil discourse and domestic institutions.Zuckerberg will testify again on Wednesday before the House Energy and Commerce Committee.Related: Was your Facebook data shared with Cambridge Analytica? You can now find outWhile Zuckerberg took responsibility for Facebook's shortcomings in preventing abuse of the platform, he pushed back at the notion that Facebook is a monopoly and reiterated that Facebook sees itself as a tech company rather than a media company."I agree that we're responsible for the content, but we don't produce the content," he said.The distinction is more than semantic. It speaks to the responsibility that Facebook has historically felt regarding policing content on its platform -- or, more accurately, the lack thereof.He also defended the company's core business model: Using personal data to target ads."We think offering an ad-supported service is the most aligned with our mission to connect everyone in the world. We want to offer a free service that everyone can afford," he said.However, Zuckerberg said there "will always be a version" of the social network that is free, leaving some room for the possibility of a paid service.Not all senators were convinced by Zuckerberg's assurances, stressing the need for regulation."We've seen the apology tours before," said Sen. Richard Blumenthal, a Democrat from Connecticut. "My reservation about your testimony today is I don't see how you can change your business model unless there are specific rules of the road.... enforced by an outside agency."Zuckerberg, for his part, said he was open to regulation generally, including requiring companies to notify users of data breaches within 72 hours. But he conceded that pushing for more regulation could actually end up benefiting big companies like Facebook, possibly at the expense of the next Facebook."Part of the challenge with regulation, in general, is that when you add more rules that companies need to follow, that's something that a larger company like ours has the resources to do," he said.In the days leading up to the hearings, Facebook released a torrent of product and policy updates to address concerns about data privacy and election meddling. Zuckerberg, once press shy, also launched an apology tour as part of a rare media blitz.Behind the scenes, Zuckerberg and his team did mock hearings over the past week in a conference room at Facebook set up to look like a congressional hearing room. Zuckerberg plans to be contrite in his appearances before lawmakers. He will make the case for Facebook — why it helps people's lives — but be ready to push back when appropriate."He's nervous, but he's really confident," the source said. "He's a smart guy." 5545

Urquiza died June 30 in a hospital after battling the coronavirus for three weeks. His daughter, Kristin Danielle, shared that he was 65 years old and had no underlying health conditions.“He became ill three weeks after Arizona's stay-at-home order was lifted, signaling to the public it was safe to open up bars, restaurants and other non-essential services. It was not safe and it is still not safe. My family was robbed,” reads a Facebook message on the MarkedbyCOVID page.The family started the Facebook page as one way to channel their “sadness and rage into building an awareness campaign so fewer families are forced to endure this.” They started an ofrenda in front of the governor’s office in Phoenix, starting with pictures of Urquiza and messages from the family, and inviting other families in Arizona impacted by coronavirus to add their photos. 858

was abruptly recalled from her post in May. Sondland has been the ambassador to the European Union since late June 2018. He is scheduled to give a deposition to the committees next week. Sondland seemed to downplay the concerns raised by his counterpart in Kiev."Gordon, one thing Kurt and I talked about yesterday was Sasha Danyliuk's point that President Zelenskyy is sensitive about Ukraine being taken seriously, not merely as an instrument in Washington domestic, reelection politics," Taylor wrote on July 21.Sondland replied, "Absolutely, but we need to get the conversation started and the relationship built, irrespective of the pretext."On September 1, Taylor raised a question about the conditions upon which the aid was stalled and a White House visit by Zelensky would be predicated."Are we now saying that security assistance and WH meeting conditioned on investigations?" Taylor asked."Call me," Sondland replied.On September 8 and 9, Taylor suggested the continued delay in security aid was benefiting Russia, referring to potential "nightmare" situations on both days. On September 8 he alluded to quitting in protest."The nightmare is they give the interview and don't get the security assistance. The Russians love it (And I quit.)," he wrote on September 8.Sondland, in response to Taylor's suggestion on September 9 that the assistance was being withheld "for help with a political campaign," said that the diplomat was "incorrect about President Trump's intentions.""The President has been crystal clear no quid pro quo's of any kind. The President is trying to evaluate whether Ukraine is truly going to adopt the transparency and reforms that President Zelensky promised during his campaign," Sondland wrote. He suggested Taylor contact Secretary of State Mike Pompeo or his executive secretary to discuss it further.Sondland's extensive involvement in Ukraine -- given that he is EU ambassador -- has raised questions. Sondland told UATV in July, "President Trump has not only honored me with the job of being the US ambassador to the EU, but he's also given me other special assignments, including Ukraine.""We have what are called the three amigos, and the three amigos are Secretary Perry, Ambassador Volker and myself. And we've been tasked with sort of overseeing the Ukraine-US relationship between our contacts at the highest levels of the US government, and now the highest levels of the Ukrainian government," Sondland said in that interview.On Friday, Trump sought to downplay his involvement in the ambassador's exchanges, saying, "I don't even know most of these ambassadors. I didn't even know their names."However, the President immediately went on to praise Sondland for declaring there had not been any quid pro quo."The text message that I saw from Ambassador Sondland -- who's highly respected -- was: There's 'no quid pro quo.' He said that," Trump said.Sondland, a political appointee, came to the diplomatic world from the business one. According to his State Department biography, he was "the Founder and CEO of Provenance Hotels, a national owner and operator of full-service boutique 'lifestyle' hotels. He is a longtime Republican donor.Taylor has held a variety of diplomatic roles. In addition to earlier serving as ambassador to Ukraine, Taylor oversaw assistance and support to Egypt, Tunisia, Libya and Syria at the State Department during the Arab Spring, "served in Jerusalem as the U.S. Government's representative to the Mideast Quartet," "oversaw reconstruction in Iraq from 2004 to 2005, and served in Kabul as coordinator of international and U.S. assistance to Afghanistan from 2002 to 2003," according to his State Department biography. He was most recently the Executive Vice President of the US Institute of Peace.The US Embassy in Kiev referred questions about the texts to the State Department's Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs, which did not immediately reply to requests for comment. Sondland's spokesperson referred inquiries to the White House, which also did not immediately reply. 4062
