'Your User Agreement Sucks': Big Moments From Zuck Testimony

The first couple hours of Mark Zuckerberg's Senate testimony Tuesday were, as Time puts it, "tedious." Lawmakers' questions made it clear they don't quite understand all the ins and outs of social media (the Week says Zuck spent a fair amount of time explaining how the internet works), and that made it easy for Zuck to give sometimes evasive answers without much pushback. But when Ted Cruz questioned Zuckerberg, the Facebook founder actually appeared to be "on edge," giving us, in Time's words, "the most explosive part" of the hearing. The exchange had to do with whether Facebook is a neutral public forum, with Cruz rattling off a number of instances in which the social network appeared to show its political bias by leaning left. Cruz specifically asked Zuckerberg about Palmer Luckey, a former Facebook employee who left the company after his conservative political views were revealed; Zuck denied those political views had anything to do with his departure. Time has more on Luckey and the Zuck-Cruz exchange. More coverage coming out of the five-hour hearing:

• Things did get a bit less tedious as the hearing wore on; Kamala Harris, at one point, called Zuckerberg out for deflecting questions, per the Raw Story; Slate looks at a particularly "awkward" exchange between Zuck and Dick Durbin about Zuck's hotel; and CNN highlights an exchange in which a senator told Zuckerberg bluntly, "your user agreement sucks." Roll Call has a look at some of the other key exchanges between Zuck and lawmakers.
• Fast Company explains how Zuck "dodged" a question about Facebook's ability to follow users around the internet even when they're not logged in. Meanwhile, Slate says he "struggled" to answer uncomfortable questions about Facebook board member Peter Thiel.
• Roll Call offers up photos from the day, including the veritable army of Zuckerberg cutouts adorning the East Lawn of the Capitol; the Week has photos and videos illustrating the "zoo" Capitol Hill became; and Mashable zeroes in on photos of Zuck's face throughout the day to look at his "emotional journey" as the day progressed.
