One of my bills is in it, the Firewall Act, which would make sure that foreign money would not be allowed to buy online political ads in our country.

But Mr. Zuckerman, I have here HUD's report, and it clearly says that your platform allows advertisers to restrict certain users from viewing ads on your platform.

You say, 'to remove.'

We in Congress have worked hard, for the past 50 years, to eliminate the very racial discrimination practices that your platform is guilty of.

Mr. Zuckerberg, thank you for joining us today. Back during the 1960s and 1970s, Congress passed a series of laws intended to stamp out discrimination in lending and housing.

Today, you testified that you believe in giving people a voice, and Mr. Zuckerberg, is Facebook able to assure us that it will support users' fair and open discussions and communications related to the risk as well as the benefits of…

I support vaccinations of children and adults, but I also support open and frank communication of the risks of vaccination.

I believe Facebook is a great innovation that has much potential for good, that we welcomed an innovation together with the controversies that it spawned.

These issues cut across parties and districts, and I believe that our work here matters to the vulnerable communities we all represent in Congress.

In my hometown in Bartow County, Georgia, we just posted in August the lowest unemployment rate in the history of that county.

If they did it for the slaves coming out of the Civil War, 4.5 million, surely, we can do it to really solve the problem of getting to 58 million underbanked.

We need to ensure that there is a fund created for MDIs to support financial literacy and alternatives to predatory products.

The energy, the thrust, the urgency of this government to respond to this is not.

I appreciate, Dr. Calabria, the efforts to retain capital, because we do need to have that rainy day fund if and when we do get into the next financial crisis.
