and the fallout from its data sharing scandal

shows no sign of stopping.

In fact, people have even started a movement online

called #DeleteFacebook,

which people are using on Facebook.

Which, if you think about it, is like seeing an abstinence video

being the top clip on Pornhub.

That's why, last night, Facebook CEO

and walking peanut allergy Mark Zuckerberg

made a rare appearance on CNN to try and stop the bleeding.

What happened? What went wrong?

So, this was a major breach of trust,

and... and I'm really sorry that this happened.

You know, we have a basic responsibility

to protect people's data, and if we can't do that,

then we don't deserve to have the opportunity

to serve people.

So our responsibility now is to make sure

that this doesn't happen again.

Why do tech CEOs always speak

like they're launching a new product?

He's like, "I'm proud to announce our newest innovation,

"the Apology.

"This excuses everything.

I'm really sorry."

But look, at the very least, Zuckerberg knows

that he's in hot water, which is why he's willing

to take his apology wherever it's needed.

Will you testify before congress?

So, the-the short answer is, is I'm happy to

if it's the right thing to do.

What we try to do is send the person at Facebook,

um, who will have the most knowledge

about what congress is trying to learn.

So if that's me, then I am happy to go.

Oh, wow, that's right.

Zuckerberg says he's willing to testify.

But if I was a congressman, I wouldn't want him to testify.

Yeah. Because you realize that dude knows everybody's secrets.

Right? If they try and grill Zuckerberg,

he can just be like, "Sure, let's talk about transparency.

"Every few days, Congressman,

"you click on your daughter's best friend's bikini photos.

Any more questions?"

(laughter)

And look, while Zuckerberg's comments

may not have been entirely reassuring,

I did sympathize with him on one thing.

If you'd told me in 2004,

when I was getting started with Facebook,

that a big part of my responsibility today

would be to help protect the integrity of elections

against interference by other governments,

um, you know, I wouldn't have really believed

that that was gonna be something that I would have to work on

14 years later.

Yeah, you have to admit, that is a weird situation to be in.

This guy started out by basically making

a "hot or not" website for his college,

and now America is counting on him to protect the integrity

of its elections.

That's an insane world to be in.

It's like if an asteroid was headed towards the Earth,

and then for some reason we turned to the guy

who invented Tinder, and were just like,

"Tinder guy! We need you to save us!"

And he's like, "Aah! Aah! Has anyone tried swiping left?

Aah! It's my only move!"

For more on the Facebook fallout,

we turn now to our senior tech correspondent

and computer owner, Ronny Chieng, everybody!

(cheering, applause)

Ronny...

after learning that Facebook allowed random companies

to access their personal data, is it fair for people to feel

like Facebook betrayed their trust?

Oh, people are pissed off on the Internet?

Oh, wow, what a surprise.

The only people to blame here are the dumbasses

who share everything about themselves online!

Every day! It's, like, "Look at the food I'm eating."

Or, "Look at who I'm banging."

Or, "Look at the food I'm banging."

-Ridiculous! -Oh, but to be fair, Ronny,

not everything people share on Facebook

is superficial like that.

No, it really is.

Like, you don't need to tell the world

your relationship is "complicated." Okay?

Every relationship is complicated.

Especially when you're banging the best eggs Benedict

on the East Coast! #Brunch!

So I... I take it that you're not on Facebook?

What? No. Of course I'm on Facebook.

I just don't care if they take my data,

because I'm not naive enough to post anything real about myself.

If you check my profile, it's just pictures of Iceland

and Sunday mimosas.

I don't even know what a mimosa is.

And Iceland isn't even real, okay?

I just steal pictures of a white girl's Instagrams.

Yeah, but-but... but, Ronny, I don't get it, then.

What's the point of having a Facebook profile

if everything you put on there is gonna be fake?

Uh, because it's fun?

This is the Internet, Trevor. You can be anything.

Why would you want to be yourself?

Think about playing a game like World of Warcraft.

You could choose to be a wizard with magical powers

or an orc with super strength.

But no, I'm just gonna go into battle as Ronny,

a guy who bleeds every time he flosses.

(laughter)

It's the same thing with Facebook.

On Facebook, I'm not a five foot seven Asian dude.

I'm six foot five,

and I'm half black.

Wait-wait, why only half black?

Oh, because I still want to be able to book Airbnb.

-You know, that's... -(laughter, groans)

Well, I mean, that's... that's fair enough,

but then, aren't people weirded out

when they meet you in real life?

Oh, what? No, I never meet those psychos from the Internet.

They're never who they say they are.

Well, I guess that makes sense. Ronny Chieng, everybody.
