Now live, kicked off with @shoshanazuboff now hearing from @rashadrobinson at @ColorOfChange.
"at every single turn, Facebook's profit and growth sit above safety, integrity and security" - @rashadrobinson
"Facebook should do what every other company in American business history does when your product doesn't work and it kills people, you take your product down and you fix it or you sunset it." - @JGreenblattADL
"If Mark Zuckerberg doesn't want to listen to @mariaressa or @tribelaw or any of the other great people who have put their time into this, listen to the American public because they are telling you Mr. Zuckerberg your time is up one way or the other..." - @shoshanazuboff
Facebook has attempted to paint @FBoversight as a board of “critics.” I thought UK MP @DamianCollins answer to this was spot on. (you can see @mariaressa nodding in background). He nails the global accountability concern.
You can follow @jason_kint.
