This newsletter was brought to you byGetViktorZuckerberg faces Facebook's fearless foe, today
Today, Mark Zuckerberg will appear before a joint hearing of the Senate Judiciary and Commerce committees.
It's a big deal for Facebook. Cambrige Analytica used a loophole to download data from as many 87,000,000 Facebook users, sparking a #deletefacebook campaign online.
Even Elon Musk joined in. ๐๐
It's not just Elon:
๐ฆ The team behind Mozilla's Firefox Quantum released their very own Facebook Container, a Firefox plug-in that makes it impossible for Zuckerberg to track your every movement around the web. Spooky.
๐ซ Detox for Facebook will replace your Facebook feed with something more distracting, like Hacker News, Dribbble, or even Product Hunt.
๐ป This nifty extension will hide your activity on Messenger, so you can browse your messages without triggering a read-receipt.
๐ฑ Fight feed addiction with an app that blocks Facebook on your phone.
Mark testifies at 2:15PM ET. We will be watching ๐

We asked 34 customers what Viktor does for them. Not one said chatbot.

They kept using words like colleague, coworker, team member. One CEO called it the glue holding their e-commerce business together, which is a lot, but alsoโฆ you see why. It lives in Slack and plugs into 3,000+ tools, so instead of jumping between tabs, you just ask for the thing. Pull Stripe against HubSpot, check Sentry alerts, spin up a campaign brief, build a landing page, send a report upstairs. It all happens there.
It has already hit top 5 on Product Hunt with 130 comments, is SOC 2 certified, and your data does not train models.One user said it was the first time AI felt like a real coworker, which is either exciting or slightly concerning depending on your week.
