As you probably know, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg appeared before the US Congress yesterday to answer questions about things ranging from privacy and Cambridge Analytica, to Russian election meddling. And while that may sound like serious business, the internet still found plenty of material to make jokes and memes about…
1. The questions Zuckerberg got from older members of Congress were… quite something.
It would be cool to see Zuckerberg questioned by people who know how Facebook works

2. Just listen to this one.

3. It lead to a lot of jokes.
“Mr. Zuckerberg, a magazine i recently opened came with a floppy disk offering me 30 free hours of something called America On-Line. Is that the same as Facebook?” pic.twitter.com/U7pqpUhEhQ

4. And it made a lot of people realize the same thing.
This Zuckerberg hearing is a great reminder of why we need the average age in Congress not to be 1,492 years old

5. Of course he does.
Congressperson: Oh, i forgot my questions back in the office, ill go get them.
Mark Zuckerberg: Here, I have a copy.

#Zuckerberg: “You’re not allowed to have fake profiles on Facebook.”
Me: 😂

8. Every member of Congress has their own priorities.

9. Life comes at you fast.

12. People noticed he was sitting on an extra thick cushion to appear taller.

13. Which is obviously excellent meme material.
Wow! Saw Zuckberg’s booster seat just now! pic.twitter.com/DPPNA7Asof

14. The whole hearing was a mean meme machine.

15. Zuckerberg’s robotic mannerisms were noticed by many.
Mark Zuckerberg’s manner has always reminded me of someone, but I could never quite grasp hold of it.
Just now it hit me, watching him testify about data. pic.twitter.com/4Zs2eGlsHD

17. And we leave you with this not unlikely scenario…
Almost feel bad for Zuckerberg. There’s no way he left that room full of old people without having to set up their wifi.
