New York rapper 50 Cent‘s trolling is far from over. The hip-hop veteran has hit up social media to roast Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg amid his publicized Congress testimony.
Fif went to Instagram Thursday (April 12) with a hilarious meme of Zuckerberg’s face – ironically – with Star Trek character Data.

Over the past couple of days, Zuckerberg has testified in court over Facebook knowingly allowing its users’ data to be consumed by an outside party.
Mark Zuckerberg spent more than 10 hours testifying before Congress this week and still didn’t answer the most important question about Facebook: How much data does Facebook collect on users — and non-users? It is a question asked in various forms by lawmakers in both the Senate and the House, but in most cases Zuckerberg evaded it by proposing that his team follow up later. (CNN Money)
Various media outlets narrowed in on Zuckerberg’s inability to provide concise responses.
If you watched every moment of Mark Zuckerbergâs testimony in front of Congress this week, youâll know he rolled out one phrase an awful lot: âIâll have my team get back to you.â Now some of these were bits of data Mr Zuckerberg simply didnât have to hand – such as why a specific advertisement for a political candidate in Michigan didnât get approved. Other follow ups, though, will require some hard graft from his team. What they produce could provide even more negative headlines for the company, as it is forced to divulge more of its inner workings than it has ever felt comfortable with. (BBC)
Zuckerberg’s giant social media platform has reportedly become a multi-million dollar enterprise.
Start with Facebook. Mr Zuckerberg told Congress that any firm that has grown at the speed of Facebook was bound to make mistakes. But the dorm-room excuse is wearing thin. Facebook is the sixth-most-valuable listed firm on the planet. It spent $11.5m on lobbying in Washington in 2017. Its endless guff about âcommunityâ counts for little when it has repeatedly and flagrantly disregarded its usersâ rights to control their own data. The company has carried out lots of fiddles in recent weeksâfrom making privacy settings clearer to promising an audit of suspicious apps. But it should go much further. (Economist)
