If Congress were fully briefed on Cambridge Analytica’s methods during the 2016 election, they wouldn’t have needed another ‘shocking’ presentation on the manipulative methods of TikTok.

The fact that so many of them were blown away by the influence an algorithm could have on the vote just reaffirms my impression of their lack of comprehension. The least they could have done was screen “The Great Hack” in the Capitol building.
