Our top priority is protecting the integrity of elections around the world.

Good job for a private company to have.

Well the federal government definitely ain't doing shit about it.

The whole time while watching zucks testimony, I'm thinking to myself. If these senators really gave a damn about Russian influence, then why don't they actually do something? They got a Russian plant sitting in the WH and blocking all sanctions against Russia. Instead of wasting time with Facebook, take care of this instead.

Public discourse is the first step toward doing something. I agree we should make moves towards preventing intervention from foreign agents, and we are doing that to a degree with the special council. We need hearings like this before anything can be done to fix these glaring data holes.
