Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg testifies before a joint hearing of the Senate Judiciary and Commerce committees on Tuesday, one day after the social media company unveiled a plan to restore user trust. After revelations of unauthorized use of data by the firm Cambridge Analytica, which works with political campaigns, Facebook on Monday notified users who were likely affected and urged all members to update their privacy settings. Zuckerberg met behind closed doors with senators on Monday and is scheduled to testify again Wednesday before the House Energy and Commerce Committee.

I once met a man who worked as our nation’s homelessness czar. His name is Phil Mangano and he’s quite the character, with his dark sweeping eyebrows, piercing eyes, and passionate speech. We sat for three hours at a café over milky coffee and chocolate chip cookies discussing homelessness—the challenges, the tragedies, and possible solutions. 

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg broke his silence Wednesday about allowing an outside group to obtain user data from millions of Facebook accounts and admitted he made mistakes along the way. The social media company has been under fire all week since reports showed the data firm Cambridge Analytica, which worked with the Trump campaign in 2016, improperly obtained user data from about 50 million Facebook accounts to use for targeted political ads.

We hear repeatedly that millennials are moving leftward and that Donald Trump is a political disaster because he’s losing a whole generation. Maybe yes, maybe no. This year I’ve dived into a strange new world of internet video and podcasting debate that I didn’t even know existed.

When tripping over yourself to be on the right side of history, the trouble you will run into is that you don’t know the rules. This is because the rules keep changing.

It was, I must confess, becoming a bad habit. Every time in the last couple of years when I heard the secular media note the death of some celebrity, I found myself wondering: How will they do this when Billy Graham dies?

Jessica Harris was 13 years old when her online research for a school project returned a handful of harmless science videos and one website that changed the course of her life: a link to hardcore pornography.

Harris was shocked, but curious.

“It was like watching a train wreck,” she says. “You know it’s bad, but you can’t look away.” The next time she went online, Harris knew how to find the site again, even though what she had seen was vile. “It was a war of emotions,” she says.

Harris lost the war.
