In one exchange, Republican Senator Ted Cruz directly

addressed Zuckerberg with a blunt question: “What the

hell were you thinking?” in reference to an Instagram

strangers and exploited. Not to mention the stark rise in

cyberbullying and harassment contributing detrimentally

face on a regular basis.
