While there are still lessons to be learned from how the Russians used the social platform to sow discord ahead of America's 2016 presidential election, critics say Facebook — and Zuckerberg — aren't acting quickly enough to prevent meddling in the upcoming midterm elections.

"Facebook is a living, breathing crime scene for what happened in the 2016 election — and only they have full access to what happened," said Tristan Harris, a former design ethicist at Google. His work centers on how technology can ethically steer the thoughts and actions of the masses on social media and he's been called "the closest thing Silicon Valley has to a conscience" by The Atlantic magazine.

    His legislative progress is the tax bill. Everything else was actions he either had nothing to do with (the economy was growing well before he was elected) or that he could do on his own (executive orders). Again, master "art of the deal" couldn't make any deals except the one that inflated the budget deficit.
