Cambridge Analytica, as a quick refresher, is a consulting firm that stealthily acquired information about 87 million Facebook users for political advertising purposes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt\">Over the past few weeks, Facebook has been in full-on damage control. Not only did Mark Zuckerberg issue an apology a few weeks back, various Facebook executives have been making the rounds in the media in an effort to assure the masses that their private data will remain just that, private. What\u2019s more, Zuckerberg is slated to testify before congress on the matter this coming Tuesday.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt\">In anticipation of Zuckerberg\u2019s testimony before seasoned lawmakers, Saturday Night Live over the weekend had a little bit of fun at Zuckerberg\u2019s expense by poking fun at his somewhat offbeat persona. During the Weekend Update portion of the show, Zuckerberg \u2014 played ably by Alex Moffat \u2014 addressed the company\u2019s ongoing privacy issues in a hilarious manner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt\">Right off the bat, the show pokes fun at Zuckerberg\u2019s allegedly robotic demeanor. Upon being introduced, Zuckerberg, in an effort to appear more human, recites his inner monologue aloud and says: \u201cBegin eye contact. One, two, three. Nailed it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt\">When asked if he was going to resign, Zuckerberg responded: \u201cNo way homie. Because according to our data sets, I don\u2019t have to and you can\u2019t make me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt\">The best part of the sketch, in my opinion, is when Zuckerberg briefly recalls the site\u2019s \u2018Poke\u2019 feature, something Zuckerberg categorizes as \u201cflirting for cowards.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt\">The entire sketch is pretty well done and can be viewed below.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 8pt\">Source:-http:\/\/bgr.com\/2018\/04\/09\/snl-mark-zuckerberg-sketch-video-poke-flirting\/<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/technology\/snl-sketch-scorches-mark-zuckerberg-hilarious-weekend-update-segment.html\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 630px !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SNL sketch scorches Mark Zuckerberg in hilarious &#8216;Weekend Update&#8217; segment While Facebook has certainly had its fair share of privacy scandals over the years, the recent controversy involving Cambridge Analytica undoubtedly represents the biggest challenge the social networking giant has faced to date.
