– Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Google’s Sundar Pichai, and Apple’s Tim Cook testified via videoconference Wednesday during a House Judiciary Committee hearing on online platforms and market power, and while the tech CEOs were on Capitol Hill to answer questions about privacy, not everyone was impressed with their answers. Here’s a sampling of some of the online reaction, via Reuters, the New York Times, and the Washington Post: ‘PUT YOUR MASK ON!’ The phrase “put your mask on” caught the attention of Twitter users, with one user tweeting: “Can’t wait for the Jeopardy Q in 2022: This Congressional Hearing popularized ‘Put your mask on’ as an insult.” ‘Back off the soft focus. Add books. Remember books? Order a couple ring lights. Here’s one. You gave it 4.5 stars. You get 6/10.'” ‘Bezos eats a SNACK’ Social media users jumped on the fact that Amazon’s Bezos received no questions for more than an hour in his first appearance before Congress. At one point, the world’s richest man appeared to reach off-screen for a snack, to the internet’s delight. “someone calculate how much money he made during this nom,’ tweeted @Bryson_M. Others did back-of-the-napkin calculations to figure out an answer. It was not immediately clear if there were technical problems with Amazon’s feed.
