Recently, Facebook has been under scrutiny after word got out that the Trump-affiliated political consulting organization Cambridge Analytica stole data from 87 million of its users. The social media giant admitting it scans all of our conversations in the Messenger app didn't help its publicity, either. In wake of these events - relevant to all of the company's 2.2 billion monthly active users - Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has taken a trip to Capitol Hill. While he was testifying before the United States Congress about user privacy, the internet took full advantage of the live public hearing that took about five hours. Countless memes have surfaced, poking fun at 'Mr. Zuckerbot' and his company, each one funnier than the next. So, while the 33-year-old billionaire is getting ready for his second grilling on Wednesday from for The House of Representatives, scroll down and check out some of the hilarious reactions that the first one has already produced!

Us elderly have tried to enlighten the kids about safety and not to share everything about themselves for years, just to be laughed at. Don't forget that us 'oldies' were there from the start, a lot of us even programmed their own games back in the day. I know who needs more explaining and it's not the oldies.
That’s not what she was talking about. If your a senator, chances are you weren’t focusing on computers and tech as a kid. You were focusing on politics. So your knowledge of tech is prob highly lacking. So yes, these ELDERLY people need it explained. Like my mother and father. My dad tried to use my computer once. This was back in 99. A notification screen popped up, he got scared and confused, turned off the computer and has never touched one again. His cell phone is still one of the original Nextel’s.
Load More Replies...He doesn't understand the tech either considering he stole most of it.
I hate this twonkitude. These Senators don’t get what they don’t care about. Instead of turning it into divisiveness and ageiism, we should see that they are entrenched and care little about much beyond the cozy seat they hold. But no, let’s smirk and condescend, because that pleases a simple mind.
I"VE listened to some of the questions yesterday..& the oldies have never BEEN on any social media account!
...and I"M an oldie (69 & barely computer-literate)
Load More Replies...Perhaps an elderly person will explain how to be a responsible CEO to this brogrammer. Sadly, no one in America cares anymore.
Corporate ethics has always been an oxymoron. I don't see that changing with millenials.
Load More Replies...often he did a big effort to hide the smile against the ridiculous questions
It almost makes me wonder... are they doing all this so that they break him down and take control over Facebook? Then they'll have all our info that Facebook has.. or they might start charging for Facebook.
Are you pulling our legs? how do you think all these Silicon companies started? Who do you think financed them and their enormous losses during the first years? He as many other "Silicon creators" are the DATA (robots) of deep state. If by now you still think that a very young student can do what he did without an enormous and interested backing...your ingenuity is full blown.Information is control

Captivating. Creepily "positive" statement + poisoned Zuckerberg... ;D
Fascist...you kids dont even know what a fascist government looks like!!
Zack Bornstien it obvious that your ignorance is due to the fact that you were amongst the millions who were taught Revisionist/ Histoy. I am always amazed how many of my Jewish friends are able to not know what a Fascist is but quick to immediately accuse any conservativ thought as You also appeare to be one who use the term Progressive to hide behind and not say Socialist. As Winston Churchill has said....Socialism is the equal sharing of misery. Also...Those who do not learn from history are cursed to repeat it.
Well, look at Trump's hair - I guess Zuckerberg can be president one day.
Oh my! That could actually happen! Better Mark than Kanye
Load More Replies...Excuse me fellow commenters.!..The hairstyle is called 'a zuckerbob'.!..
Ah come on. He still looks like a whinny little snark that has his hair cut by his mother.
Interesting moral conundrum... If you had all that info and was genuinely capable of it - would you do it?
I'd have the best of intentions but I'd likely f**k it up.
Load More Replies...They may have heard "I like fishing", but he really ment "I like phishing."
I hate the ones where you make you 'click on every square that has a car in it' and then your not sure if the side mirror in a square counts as seeing a car -.-
After seeing this photo, it's no wonder he looks like a robot in the others. He's freaked right out! And rightly so, that many cameras in anyone's face would be terrifying!
Agree. I think in that case most people wouldn't look to well. I would freak out myself.
Load More Replies...This should not be allowed there. 1 or 2 official cameras and that's it. This is torture. Even if he is used to being photographed.
It's a fair thing to empathize with, but I'm not sure pitying him is entirely appropriate...
Load More Replies...No pressure..... no pressure at all.... no one is watching >.<! No wonder he looks so pale. This shouldn't be allowed. I would just pass out from the stress of the lenses and the people behind said lenses.
Why are all these cameras being aloud? It's no wonder he looks like a robot.
A wall of paparazzi *shivers* Is there a collective pronoun for paps? A leech? A suck? A cesspit? I almost feel sorry for the guy
the blessings one has of not having anything and being completely ignored...you can poke your nose, scratch your butt..ehem and other things, such as observe people, and nobody pays attention..oh it's heaven..
I can't be the only one who gets highly annoyed when viral memes have grammatical errors.
Oh my god me too... “Human is drink water, It’s normal.” Who was the writer, Yodas stupid younger brothe?
Load More Replies...*controller* "Okay now blink then slowly drink the water." *laughs* "no one will ever know..."
To be fair, I imagine he is probably actually pretty terrified. As much as he's a privileged billionaire who is also probably a bit of an arrogant and socially-backwards jerk, this is a very high pressure situation to be in. That said... i want to see his company burn. He might not have set out to create a platform to aid facism, but he has long ignored the anti-social aspects of Facebook, because money.
Perhaps it is time to remember that he produce Facebook when still in college. He might be arrogant, and a few other things; however, he is brilliant at what he does. As an old person who uses FB to keep in touch with a few friends who do not use e-mail, it works for me.
Load More Replies...Uh. Did anyone else notice the guys eyes in the back? Or is it just cuz the frames are slow...
Any faster and you wouldn't be commenting coz you wouldn't have seen anything!
Load More Replies...You know, I'm 53 years old, and I am perfectly capable of setting up my own WiFi, along with a host of other "Tech" things. Why young people think us "old" folks are so tech-stupid is beyond me. Do you think computers were invented in 2000? Guess again, Einstein...Oh, and we didn't live in our mommy's basement til we were 44.
Nobody is calling a 53 yr old "old" so hold your horses
Load More Replies...I don't, humans seemingly never think that they must be prepared to to assume the consequences of their acts. Ups! I forgot ,MZ is the DATA model
Nah!!! I don’t like him because he’s after his ex nosie what she’s doing.
Calling it right now: someone has already or will diagnose him with autism. And before you jump down my throat, I'm autistic and see NTs just leap to dx their kids. Except I think he actually does have no empathy.
I think it's pretty unique that you're autistic, Nicki, does it change your outlook on normal life? Sorry if it was rude, but I'm kind of an open person, and sometimes I'm rude and I don't realize it!

OMG how uncanny!Even the angle of the head is the same!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But has he got a switch at the back of his neck so he can be turned off?
"Will you take a look at that? Pretty pathetic, huh? Well, you'll never believe this, but that llama you're looking at was once a human being."
Zuckerberg wasn't sworn in, which makes his testimony worth zero. That's one. Two, he contributed big bucks to a great many of those asking him questions. What an absolute farce.
Isn't being sworn in just a sort of "ritual"? I mean, you can LIE under oath just as easily as not. It's especially hilarious that people swear in on the Bible.
Load More Replies...I don't know but in my opinion he could've been passed away (Faint) just for stress there! Look at the face O.O!
If you mean he looks like he could faint, then the expression is "pass out", but you're right that he looks that way... And he also looks like he could pass away (die) at any moment in the picture too so you're right on that too. One could almost see his soul leaving behind his cold, expressionless empty body.
Load More Replies...He's a stereotypical "awkward nerd" type from a brainy school. I worked at highly selective liberal arts colleges and there are thousands of "flat affect" individuals out there; one or two become the CEO of a social network conglomerate. (Flat Affect = A person with flat affect has no or nearly no emotional expression.)
stereotypical nerds have remorse for their actions. they learned it from playing D&D *is a nerd*
Load More Replies...So, what are you supposed to look like sitting before a congressional investigation?
For what he is going through it's no wonder why he has that expression on his face. Now he and others will understand the gravity of being in a bad way with the entire world watching.
Huh. Kinda reminds you of that psychopath down the street who used to burn ants for hours with a magnifying glass.
Me when my relatives ask of why they can't see my DP on WhatsApp while others can.
WHEN WILL YOU LEARN?! WHEN WILL YOU LEARN?! THAT YOUR ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES?!

For the bad ones, yes. But first I'd transfer all my money to another country & move there.

I think Grassley will be retiring soon to spend more time with his grandchildren.
I wish. I wish he'd go back to mowing his own yard.

Believe me, the Senator knows his email. I get lots of responses to mine.
Responses are generally from aids who sign the politician's name
Load More Replies......And Senator Grassley, what happened to your email? Your missing email? Does President Spanky McBonespurs know about your missing email?
love that stupid question I think I would ask him some tech question too...
This is the face of symmetrical face of an android and his owner is in the blue tie letting his android take the fall if he doesn't completely answer all the questions correctly.
Makes a lot of sense, since he sold it in 2005.
Load More Replies...This at least makes that hair cut look a bit more normal, and less scary!!
Or what flavor potato chip he is; or what color he is; or what 80's sitcom character he would be; or if he's the one of only four people that can pass the test.......
Wait, why are there two "DORM ROOM"s ? I didn't have time to watch this thing
Hahahahaha. Send me a request then😂😂 I'll forward it to the ends of the world😂😂
I laugh at "platform for all ideas" when the FB algorithm presented by propublica shows quite otherwise.
If that is Ted Cruz, it has nothing to do with FB; it has everything to do with how big a jerk he is. No one likes him in Congress; and no one admits to liking him in Texas. It is a mystery as to how he keeps getting elected.
IDK he was my ma's write in for president. But I think she's very confused politically so maybe more of his voters are like her....
Load More Replies...ROFLMAO! you make me snore while laughing! (until I had to register with FACEBOOK to comment. We're in deep, deep s**t)
Load More Replies...He's there to do research 'cause they're already writing the script for the movie.
Load More Replies...I bet that cushion has a hole in it. He probably got his bottom pounded too hard.
Except the guy in back knows how to tie a balanced gentleman's Windsor instead of the boy-going-to-temple's crooked four-in-hand.
I don't know what any of that means, but color me impressed!
Load More Replies...The guy behind him is pulling the strings. He's so good, you don't even see his lips move.
I believe the color is called "Facebook Blue". And woman on the right is wearing "I'm bored as f**k green".
this was the first thing i thought of. gonna be back to myspace soon, guys
not likely, the sex bots and failing bands have taken it over.
Load More Replies...I am starting to feel so sorry for him. I don't think he planned for any of this to happen. He was just a nerdy kid who came up with a great idea and had no way of knowing that some criminals would use his app to create all this conflict. Then again, maybe I am wrong...it just all seems so sad to me.
Could you only imagine if he was showing personality!?!?! The headlines would all be how he's laughing about this, not taking it seriously... It's a lose-lose situation here
Load More Replies...No wonder he looks so sick, all those cameras ought not to have been allowed that close, or even in to the same space as him.
Notice the paper? No key board. They really want him to feel uncomfortable don't they?
Pretty sure he's just getting a taste of how all us Facebook users feel when people are stealing our data lol
Explaining how a router works, seriously? Did you throw Cisco books at their head? All they need to know is which labeled cable goes where, and how to reboot the thing
[I know where to reboot it and how to plug it. But how does it work? What are those light doing? And what dy stands for?]
Load More Replies...Or the difference between data and broadband. Conversation going on three years or more with spouse.
I doubt my millennial stepkids know the difference. But then they don't have jobs.
Load More Replies...The lady at extreme right corner.. She doesn't look much comfortable either..
No, that chair is made on purpose to make you feel uncomfortable, by beeing lower then everybody in the room, look how short the chair legs are.
I would have one myself if i had to sit in a chair that uncomfortable for 8 hours.
Standard chair height is 16”. He has a short torso. The chair is normal.
He isn't Data. Data can't speak using contractions. Therefore he is......LORE! Without the emotion chip of course.
Load More Replies...Oh, Facebook. I know you're evil, I wish I knew how to quit you!!! <3 <3
This kinda made me feel less bad for him about all those cameras. Yes, I would crack under it if I was in the same position, but the thing is -- I would never be in that position to begin with! Think of all those cameras as the tens or hundreds of thousands that invaded our privacy with Zuckerberg's knowledge.
And this, in a nutshell, shows why NOBODY should feel bad for this guy. He sold us out, and that's the bottom line. And when it's over he will go back to his 50 jillion dollar mansion, while we peasants go back to being manipulated and sold out by Facebook. I have no sympathy for this robot...
Creepy co passengers are the worst. They might even suggest you a reply to send if they could.
I've never come across that term before. What is a creepy co passenger?
Load More Replies...no. When your teacher asks you a question about your answer on a test you didn't study for in front of the whole class
I now have the face of you that I just knew the knowledge I have on you is correct.
The "manlett" created FB, used all over the world; he did this while still in college. That "manlett" is richer, smarter, and more honest than Ted Cruz will ever be. And, since when did it become cool to mock a person's height? I thought that went out in grammar school. Not in yours, though.
If there is one thing the internet is good at, it's uniting and coming together to hate one person for a few days.
Lol, it's true. Both in intensity and duration.
Load More Replies...I feel bad for Mark. Everyone is just collectively being a douche towards him for simply appearing robotic, when in actuality he's just nervous af.
He is also known to be shy, as are many brilliant people. Turing, the computer genius, was one of those. He was terrified of the publicity received after solving the Enigma mystery. Hawking, a genius, was an exception to this.
Load More Replies...So we are back making fun of how people look like and behave?I do not support his actions at all and he should take responsibility for this data leak problem but this has nothing to do how someone does look like...So dear bp,why don't you troll all the fat or gay people you promote here?Oh,i forgot,because it is not important how you look like or how you feel,right?So next time you post a story about some fat person,why don't you compare them with a whale (like comparing Zuckerberg with a robot)?So please stop with your "looks is not important" b******t....I can't stand the double standard here,making constantly fun of people you don't like but then you sell us your moral b******t about how race,body,sexual orientation ect is not important and how we should appreciate the human behind the body...Just decide ffs
Yeah but they're not making fun of his looks but the awkward way in which he was carrying himself, not really the samething.
Load More Replies...Oh the irony! (When a website, which mostly lives from facebook, nagging about facebook 24/7.)
This really isn't funny at all. This is f****d up. I can't believe people are so f*****g stupid that they would make a joke out of this. Why do people make light of serious issues and take stupid issues so seriously? F*****g embarrassing.
It was rather sad that those Senators clearly do not know how Facebook works!!!

We use it with his permission, and we agree to use it according to his rules. We *agree* to the rules. If someone doesn't like the rules, that person is perfectly free to not use the Facebook site.
Perhaps it is time for Congress to look at Fox News, Hannity, and his connection to Cohen, the "fixer" for Trump. This is cronyism on a low life level, only interesting due to Trump's corruption. The players are boring loser. I do not know anyone who watches Fox News. When I lived in NYC and CT, I did know some really funny people who read the Times and the Daily News.
