This was after Bickert gave lawyer answers to the first two questions which defy any belief she is being forthright.

1) She doesn't remember if she knew about Cambridge Analytica breach when she gave evidence to Parliament in Feb 2018 in DC. cc @carolecadwalla. pic.twitter.com/j5sRNPTVic
We’ve discussed before but here is the issue in Facebook’s banning decision (whether you agree or disagree). This entire chain of execs from Bickert up to Zuckerberg report into and lobby DC interests. Same group that decided not to take action on shooting and looting post. /1
and Facebook's own Joel Kaplan who prompted employee to askthe obvious question\u2b06\ufe0f: "Is it a conflict of interest to have one policy executive influencing both staying on good terms with Trump and civil rights-related moderation?" https://t.co/xa2rbG4mVk

Zuckerberg - $60B+ in $FB stock
Sheryl - ditto + former political operative
Nick - former MP, UK political operative

I don't want to get ahead of John sharing his highlights from his strong event but @nick_clegg spent 30min making his case, the audience was polled live asking if Facebook is prepared for the upcoming election and 95% of the audience picked "No." Maybe it was worse this morning? https://t.co/jkP7GOe1Hy pic.twitter.com/yWNphBD3ts

Facebook will NOT flag declarations by President Trump or any other candidate who prematurely declares victory in battleground states. The company only will flag claims stating that a candidate has won the overall election.https://t.co/7jKPSZ2fo8

Amazing read. Don\u2019t touch my 1A but recognize microtargeting has minimized the collisions... \u201cit is wrong to censor ideas, because knowledge arises from the \u2018the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error.\u2019\u201d https://t.co/jJqlwlaI2A

"Luck is the flip side of risk. They are mirrored cousins, driven by the same thing: You are one person in a 7 billion player game, and the accidental impact of other people\u2019s actions can be more consequential than your own."
I’ve always felt that the luckiest people I know had a talent for recognizing circumstances, not of their own making, that were conducive to a favorable outcome and their ability to quickly take advantage of them.
In other words, dumb luck was just that, it required no awareness on the person’s part, whereas “smart” luck involved awareness followed by action before the circumstances changed.
So, was I “lucky” to be born when I was—nothing I had any control over—and that I came of age just as huge databases and computers were advancing to the point where I could use those tools to write “What Works on Wall Street?” Absolutely.
Was I lucky to start my stock market investments near the peak of interest rates which allowed me to spend the majority of my adult life in a falling rate environment? Yup.
