Mark Zuckerberg, the founder and CEO of Facebook, was questioned in the US Congress in 2018 after it was revealed that the company’s data was in the hands of third parties. Zuckerberg, who gave his statement about this scandal, which appeared to play a role even in the US elections and for which the company named ‘Cambridge Analytica’ was held responsible, became a new meme of the whole internet with a square in Congress.
In that frame, which continues to be widely used even today, Zuckerberg was behaving like a robot, devoid of any emotion. Zuckerberg, who has been silent about this square that has been spoken for many years, finally made the statement that the internet was waiting for. Zuckerberg, who was a guest on Joe Rogan’s podcast, defended himself when Rogan reminded him of this issue.
Those moments that make you think Zuckerberg is trying to be a robot pretending to be human:
“I don’t like the way you sip water, but you’re sipping water in the Senate, drinking like a robot,” Rogan said. Responding to his comment, Zuckerberg started laughing at this joke by taking another sip of water and explained as follows:
“Senate testimony is not exactly a setting set up to promote a person’s humanity. If you stay there for six or seven hours, you’ll make a face worthy of boobs.”
Why did Zuckerberg appear before the Senate?
The US Congress questioned Zuckerberg over the Cambridge Analytica scandal in April 2018, in which privacy, trust, and the personal information of up to 87 million users were misused to target political ads. During this interrogation, some ‘nonsense’ questions that members of Congress asked Zuckerberg were also on the internet.
