Senator Ron Wyden (D) of Oregon has floated the idea that Mark Zuckerberg has committed crimes by operating the website known as "Facebook."
In an interview published last week, Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon discussed the consequences he believes Facebook should face for its repeated lies about privacy practices. Specifically, Wyden told Willamette Week that CEO and co-founder Mark Zuckerberg may deserve prison time.
"Mark Zuckerberg has repeatedly lied to the American people about privacy," Wyden said. "I think he ought to be held personally accountable, which is everything from financial fines to — and let me underline this — the possibility of a prison term. Because he hurt a lot of people. And, by the way, there is a precedent for this: In financial services, if the CEO and the executives lie about the financials, they can be held personally accountable."
The outlet included a citation of University of Oregon professor Tim Gleason who said the odds of Zuckerberg facing criminal action to be "slim."

Yeah, it can't get much stupider. Facebook? Please! How 'bout Boeing? They killed 346 people, next time they'll try not to waste a second plane. Whoops! Can't touch that! Wells Fargo? Oh never never! Facebook is a nice soft easy target. There's no real money there. It's all fantasy bullshit derivatives. Cut the power, and *POOF*, what? Nothing... Besides, they can just say the CIA made 'em do it.
Rats accusing rats... Change the channel, watch the Brits!
Insane! That these people will be reelected! I noticed that a lot of smart ones are retiring, before the cops get too close...
La politica e i criminali sono la stessa cosa..

Hint: Faecebook is not part of the MIC.
Only if you consider the unintended kills.
Otherwise, fighter planes and attack helicopters... who's keeping the count.
