The Techno Robber Barons of Silicon Valley put on a 5 hour plus show in Congress this week being grilled about if they were violating anti-trust laws. https://youtu.be/Y8gHDoY9E70

I loved watching the grilling, the 'marketing' responses, and the complete cut-downs in return, utterly trashing them.It was fantastic to see their shit-speak completely sliced through!It showed so clearly the ways and means theyve used to violate anti-trust laws...um...treason....um...trafficking....um...hate crimes...@SheChanges

I looked at the comments in the YouTube video of the Congressional Hearing. Those who are dedicated Congress watchers pointed out that all the questioners pretty much yielded their time at the end (something they never do when they are questioning an "enemy"), which allowed the Techno Robber Barons to have the last word. It was a fucking show. This week's hearing was the final of 4 hearings, now Congress will make their decisions. Frankly, I don't have much hope. Someone else called the hearing "performative regulation". @knucker

Yes, I was shocked at the time yielding. I couldn't understand why interrogators questions were time limited, and they were extremely strict about it ...even so...their come-backs were incisive, blunt and nailed the arses.The little I watched was supremely satisfying! Congress were nailing them completely and utterly, on very serious charges.It may well be like the whole trump debacles though, ineffective as a chocolate fireguard. @SheChanges
