Mark Zuckerberg Tells Congress He's Sorry | TIME

We live in a "Don't worry about it until something happens" kind of world. Where one can ask for forgiveness after the fact.

Remember the British oil guy? He was sorry xD

[sheilagibson]

It is called “I am sorry because I got caught”.

[Runehorn]

Just because he read a paper that was put in front of him by his lawyers does not mean that he is actually sorry for anything. If I was a billionaire, I would not be sorry either. But then again I would have cashed out LONG ago!

[mactastic]

He looks like Data from Star Trek and talks like him too.

[tbestig]

This was a good apology but it sounds so fucking artificial that it doesn’t come off as real. Because it isn’t.

[sheilagibson]

Not buying any of his nonsense, he just doesn’t want to be deplatformed and sued! If he was really sorry, he would quit censoring conservative sites!

[veduh]

Thank you Zuckerberg for just acknowledging that you and your company did wrong- and kudos for delivering a proper apology too.
