Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook hearing was a sham
I was struck that on the surface it looked quite adversarial.  Senators were trying to ask fairly pointed questions (despite any technical ignorance).  But underneath the surface, the two parties here have fairly well aligned goals -- less freedom on the Internet.  The senators want to show that they're doing something, and Facebook welcomes regulation in order to suffocate would-be competitors with it.  I'm sure they're going to collaborate to find something that works well for both of their interests.  We're witnessing the death of the free internet.  It was a nice experiment while it lasted.
