Senator Kennedy of Louisiana confronted Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg about the transparency of the social media company's policies on Tuesday.

[...]

"I'm going to suggest you go home and rewrite it, and tell your $1,200 dollar and[sic] hour lawyer...you want it written in English not Swahili, so the average American user can understand," Kennedy said.

    Another followup: Yes, if you look up the laws that created segregation, you're going to find the laws that created segregation. However, you won't find the private actions that created segregation, because that's outside the scope of that article. One of the most famous protests of the Civil Rights Movement was about a private policy: the Greensboro sit-ins [wikipedia.org].

    I know you want to believe that government is the root of all evil. But in this case, it's demonstrably not.
