Has anyone else given any thought to the idea that maybe there is a broader purpose behind this? A broader GOOD purpose?

There has been a lot of back and forth about the terms of service and about privacy. Think about how nearly every company you deal with sends you a privacy statement much like FB’s. Long and complicated, fairly unintelligible, and no real feeling that you have the ability to control it or opt out. I get these from banks, investment companies, insurance, charities I’ve donated to, maybe ISP, phone.... The point being that there are so many that a normal person can’t keep track of all of them.

And nearly every app has a terms of service agreement. As an app developer, I will say I don’t think these are 100% bad. I want a TOS that protects me from gold-digging lawsuits. So if you walk into traffic while playing a game, that should not be the fault of the game developer for creating an “addictive” game. I DO think that the TOS needs to be simple and clear and not sucker the consumer into giving up rights and privacy for the benefit of the company.

I think, if I’m following you, that yes, “this “ (Zuckerberg’s Testimony Show?) has a greater good purpose. Q has been nudging us to get behind a genuine internet bill of rights. We need to do so, and to “make it rain” in order for that to happen.

It’s April, and a REALLY good time for rain!

Since 9-11 and the patriot act I’ve known we have no privacy, I’ve known about the data mining for years, cause I have sold and bought advertising since the 80’s, back then you would buy mailing and phone lists based on customer demographic info now we use oracle datacloud for targeting info.

that it has been weaponized against us and the president is new.
