Global Monopoly of Technology

The latest website: Around 10:44, the hearing officially began.

The first old man to ask the question, Richard, was a senator from Illinois.

"Before I get to the point, I want to ask if you would like to share the name of the hotel you stayed at last night with us?"

At this moment, this ongoing hearing is being broadcast live around the world, and mainstream media TV stations in Europe and the United States are broadcasting live coverage, as well as online.

When people saw Luo Sheng holding a long tail "Uh...", many people thought that he was a little nervous about this scene.

In this situation, some people are worried about him, and some people are secretly excited about it.

When they saw Luo Sheng on the TV station saying "NO" very decisively at the end, those who were worried about him couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But that's all, in fact, many people are sweating over Luo Sheng's next hearing.

At the same time, there was a burst of laughter at the hearing. This question seemed strange, even a little gossip and childish.

In fact, when the old Senator named Richard spoke, he had already entered the topic.

This question is actually an indirect question of privacy. "Staying in a hotel" represents "personal privacy". If Luo Sheng's answer is "Yes", it means that he has no privacy awareness.

This is a pit.

And this is just the beginning.

"You said in 2004 that BlueSpace is always free, do you still think that way?"

Luo Sheng replied without hesitation: "Yes, BlueSpace will always provide a free version."

"If so, how do you maintain a business model where users don't pay you?"

Many people at the scene were suffocated, but the netizens who eat melons on the Internet suddenly heated up and ridiculed the congressman for not understanding the Internet at all, and even felt very naive.

At the same time, Luo Sheng replied in an orderly manner: "We rely on selling advertisements."

At this time,

A Hawaii congressman asked along the way: "So if I send an email in WhatAPP, will your advertisers know?"

Luo Sheng responded affirmatively: "No, we can't see the content of WhatAPP, it's encrypted."

MP: "What I'm trying to say is that if I send the Avatar teaser email on WhatAPP, will I get a banner ad for Avatar?"

Luo Sheng: "Our system of Bluestar Technology cannot see the content of the information from WhatAPP."

MP: "Yes, I know this, but I'm not asking this, will these systems communicate with each other? No human involvement required?"

Luo Sheng: "I think the answer to your question is that if you send a message about Avatar to someone on WhatAPP, it will not notify the advertisement."

In the eyes of many professional Internet professionals, and even in the eyes of most ordinary netizens, the questions raised by the senators who were questioned at the hearing were a bit silly and sweet, as if they knew nothing about the Internet.

However, Luo Sheng's response was very strong, and he was unanimously praised by many people. Facing questions from senators one after another, he was very patient and actively analyzed and introduced them.

"Can you please tell me who you shared my data with?"

Faced with this question, Luo Sheng replied without hesitation: "We have given you a list of the apps you use, the apps you log in to yourself, and provide clear consent options on the terms of the user agreement, as I said, We do not share or provide data to third parties."

Senator: "Can't you ask me to prohibit you from sharing my data?"

Luo Sheng responded, "I think you can already do this."

The whole hearing has continued until now, Luo Sheng feels pretty good, in high spirits, and is ready to continue to accept the other party's questioning.

On the contrary, most of the congressmen present are tired, and most of them are old men. How can they be as strong as a young man in his twenties like Luo Sheng?

Youth is the greatest asset.

In the middle of the process, a member of the Congress asked Luo Sheng if he wanted to rest. Well, it's good to be considerate to himself.

Luo Sheng said no, he could continue to accept questions for an extended period of time.

Don't you want to ask?

Then ask, until you feel like throwing up.

The members were helpless and had to continue to ask.

Richard asked again: "How many types of data do you store? What are the types of data collected and stored by Bluestar Technology?"

Luo Sheng responded, "Can you explain what 'data category' refers to?"

Richard: "It has been reported before that Bluestar Technology collects 169 data categories. For hundreds of millions of active users, we think this will generate 61.8 billion data points from users all over the world, so you store How much data in it? Do you have it?"

Luo Sheng replied seriously: "Mr. Congressman. I don't quite understand what you are talking about."

The hearing has continued until now, and everyone has realized that this young Chinese man is also a tough guy. On the surface, he is a modest gentleman and Wen Ruyu, but in fact, he is so stable that you lose your temper.

Um, why is it leaking?

We are very good at data protection. Subtext: We do not sell data, we do not violate user privacy.

BlueSpace makes money by selling advertisements, subtext: we do not sell data or violate user privacy.

We are a high-tech IT company. Subtext: We do not sell data or violate user privacy.

Users can use and control accounts voluntarily. Subtext: We do not sell data, we do not violate user privacy.

We have a responsibility and obligation to improve awareness and management. Subtext: We do not sell data, we do not violate user privacy.

Our mission is to freely link all of humanity. Subtext: We do not sell data, we do not violate user privacy.

...

Luo Sheng's strong heart and calm coping skills made all the interrogators and those behind the scenes who expected him to roll over at the hearing completely lost their temper.

Before I knew it, it was already afternoon, and everyone was hungry and dizzy, but Luo Sheng had said for a long time that he was in good condition and could continue to answer any questions.

The reporters can't take it anymore, let alone the old senators over there?

No choice but to keep asking.

I saw a senator named Kendi say: "First of all, I'm not here to trouble you..."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the audience laughed. Luo Sheng sat upright and smiled, thinking: I believe in you.

Kendi continued: "The one thing everyone is trying to tell me today, let me put it mildly: your user agreement terms are terrible."

Everyone burst into laughter again, and the hearing was no longer serious until now.

Kendi: "I think you could give me 80 points from your IQ, you know? I think you do. The terms of your user agreement are there to cover up the BlueSpace scandal, not to inform your users. The right to worry."

Luo Sheng calmly replied: "I admit that most users will not read the privacy agreement. Privacy protection, the user agreement is not the key. For user privacy reminders, we will have a reminder mechanism in the future. We are interacting with each other. There are prompts in it. For example, if the user decides to share any action, it will prompt you to share with the object. This is for all users, whether it is your friends, or your specific group of friends. For example, using each third-party service From time to time, it will remind you again what type of information the app needs to obtain from you.”

As soon as this answer came out, all the members of the audience did not come up to take over.

Finally, the hearing ended after nearly seven hours. By the sixth hour, most of the lawmakers were dozing off. The question was not the point at all, but everyone was thinking about ending this damn hearing as soon as possible. Bar.

Not long after the end, major media reported one after another, and many industry insiders commented on their media accounts, including many Silicon Valley tech giants.

Most of the people in the science and technology circles have commented on Luo Sheng's praise, especially the tech giants in Silicon Valley, who have tacitly supported this matter.
