Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., asked if Facebook would commit to ending “Finsta” during a Senate hearing on social media’s impact on children’s mental health. Head of Global Safety for Facebook Antigone Davis explained to the senator that “Finsta” is not one of their services, it is slang for a fake account made by a user on Instagram.» Subscribe to NBC News: http://nbcnews.to/SubscribeToNBC

Blumenthal Questions Facebook Exec: ‘Will You Commit To Ending Finsta?’
im sorry, this man looks like a living fossil.
‘Will you commit to ending ligma?’
This reminds me of the Mark Zuckerberg congress meeting, just some boomers with no idea on what they’re taking about
He's like almost reaching the average life expectancy of the whole world, get a younger one 💀
Will you commit to ending sugon?
Imagine if these people ran the country…
Commit to ending swag obama yolo
HAHHAHHHAHHAHAHA
57 age limit
Did Blumenthal serve in the United States Marines?
This is how my first conversation with my mother went when I was describing how to use email.
"Oh, it's slang? So it's a black issue, right?"
LOOOL
I dont support Facebook and its empire of lies and control. But Blumenthal is one the most dishonest members of our government and he tirelessly pushes poisonous politics. Its ironic to see him go after anyone for doing the same.
Might as well ask a bar to end drunk people.
If you voted for this man, what are you completely stupid or what?
God these people are so OLD and out of touch.
If I wouldn't want to drive behind you, you shouldn't be allowed to hold office. This is why.
Can you please ban these “shitposts� I keep hearing about them and it’s scaring me.
Tell me you’re a boomer without telling me you’re a boomer
Oh good lord
"i'm highly concerned about the amount of people dying of ligma"
If all the slimy slimeballs in Washington, Blumenthal is the slimiest.
So this is hilarious but at the same time very problematic when you think about how we have these people in the highest positions making laws and running the country completely misunderstanding , misinterpreting and mis characterizing and dramatizing such a simple concept as a secret Instagram account.
WHO VOTED FOR HIM LIKE ??????
This epitomizes why we need term limits.
DONT LOOK AT MY STORY
me trying to explain any aspect of current day social media to my parents
"Are you committed to end Deez Nuts?"
For men who don't understand what mansplaining is — this is mansplaining — "Finsta is one of your products"
HAHAHAHAHAHA OMG
"Will Instagram and Facebook commit to stopping the cap."
“what are these ‘dank meme’ pages you speak of and how can we commit to a cleaning up effort?â€ÂÂ
I thought finsta was slang for fake Instagram, where you make a 2nd account and only let certain people have access
feel kinda bad for my man compared to the other ones, confused but hes got the spirit though
😂😂😂 he sounds so dumb. “What are you gonna do about ppl having a second private ig account?â€ÂÂ
“what are you going to do about the ligma?â€ÂÂ
"let them eat cake"
WOW!!! The SNL skit wasn’t that far off in characterizing the hearing. When I saw the caption for this video, I thought it might be satire. But this question was actually asked during the hearing.
Cant believe finsta is still going on 😢
We need to impose a mandatory technology class for older politicians. They try to mandate what they obviously don’t understand.
I truly truly hope he is deeply embarrassed. Yokes
