Who's this supposed to benefit?

Facebook is inveritably a part of PRISM, so it's not like these bills are going to be drafted in favor of the American people (much less those who use Facebook internationally). If anything, I'm expecting a "Curbing Online Terrorism/Child Harassment/Hate Speech Act of 2022" to be right around the corner, granting our great and benevolent government even more unfettered insight into our lives. It's not very surprising though, I don't take Zuckerberg for a strong-willed man. I believe that he'd sooner plunge our nation into a surveillance state than giving up his mansions and yacht.
