We feature more highlights from the five-hour grilling of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg this week on Capitol Hill, where Michigan Congressmember Rashida Tlaib said she feared that far-right hate groups were using Facebook event pages to incite violence against Muslims and other minorities - including death threats directed at her office. Tlaib asked to be seen not only as a Congresswoman, but also as "a mother that is raising two Muslim boys in this pretty dark time in our world." Meanwhile, California Congressmember Katie Porter pinned Zuckerberg down on Facebook's privacy policies. "You are arguing in federal court that in a consumer data privacy lawsuit, in which your own lawyers admit that users' information was stolen, that the plaintiffs fail to articulate any injury," Porter said. "In other words, no harm, no foul. Facebook messed up, but it doesn't matter. Is that your position?"
