Chapter 345 [Question]
The hearing officially began at around 10:44.
The first old man who asked for an inquiry was a senator from Illinois.
"mr.luo, before getting to the point, I would like to ask if you would like to share with us the name of the hotel you stayed at last night?"
At this moment, this ongoing hearing is a live broadcast for the world, with mainstream media stations in Europe and the United States conducting live coverage, and the same is true for the Internet.
When people saw Luo Sheng holding a long tail sound, "Uh...", many people thought he was a little nervous about the scene.
Some people are worried about this situation, while others are secretly excited about it.
When he saw Luo Sheng on the TV station finally say "no" very decisively, those who were worried about him couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
But that's all. In fact, many people are worried about Luo Sheng's next hearing.
At the same time, a burst of laughter came from the hearing scene. This question looked strange and even had a bit of gossip and childish taste.
In fact, the moment the old Senator named Richard spoke, it was already on the topic.
This question is actually indirectly asking the ** question. "Stay in the hotel" represents "personal **". If Luo Sheng's answer is "yes", it means that he has no ** consciousness.
This is a pit.
And this is just the beginning.
"mr.luo, you said in 2004 that bluespace is always free. Do you still think so now?"
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 were holding it in the scene, but netizens on the Internet immediately discussed it hotly, mocking 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 lawmaker followed and asked: "So if I emailed in, will your advertiser know?"
Luo Sheng responded affirmatively: "No, the content we can't see is encrypted."
Councillor: "What I want to say is if I send an email to the trailer of "Avatar", will I receive a banner ad for "Avatar"?"
Luo Sheng: "Our Bluestar Technology system cannot see the content of the information coming out."
Councillor: "Yes, I know this, but I'm not asking this, will these systems communicate with each other? There is no need for manual participation?"
Luo Sheng: "I think the answer to your question is that if you post a message about "Avatar" with others, it will not notify the advertisement."
In the eyes of many professional Internet people, even in the eyes of most ordinary netizens, the questions raised by the senators questioned at the hearing were simply a bit silly and sweet, as if they knew nothing about the Internet.
However, Luo Sheng's response was very powerful and was unanimously praised by many people. In the face of questions and inquiries from one senator after another, he was very patient and actively analyzed and introduced them.
"mr.luo, can you please tell me who did you share my data with?"
Faced with this question, Luo Sheng replied without hesitation: "We have given you a list of the apps you are using, the app you log in to yourself, and have provided clear consent options on the terms of the user agreement. As I said, we will not share or provide data to third parties."
Senator: "You can't let me ban you from sharing my data?"
Luo Sheng responded: "I think you can do this already."
The entire hearing lasted until now, Luo Sheng felt very good and was very energetic, and was ready to continue to accept the other party’s questioning.
On the contrary, most of the congressmen present were tired and most of them were old men. How could they stand up to such young people like Luo Sheng?
Young is the greatest capital.
The middle of the way, a member of the parliament asked Luo Sheng very "sympathetically" whether he wanted to rest, well, he should be sympathetic to himself.
Luo Sheng said that he would not use it and he could extend the time to continue to accept inquiries.
Don't you want to ask?
Then ask until you want to vomit.
The members of the parliament had no choice but to continue asking.
Richard asked again: "How many categories of data are there in your storage? What are the categories of data collected and stored by Bluestar Technology?"
Luo Sheng responded: "Can you explain what the 'data category' refers to?"
Richard: "There have been reports from outside that Bluestar Technology has collected 169 data categories. For hundreds of millions of active users, we think this will generate 61.8 billion data points. They come from users around the world, so how much data do you store? Do you have any storage?"
Luo Sheng replied seriously: "Mr. Congressman. I don't quite understand what you are talking about."
The hearing lasted until now, and everyone realized that this young Chinese was also a tough guy. On the surface, he was gentle and gentle, but in fact he was so steady that he made you lose your temper. All the answers were unscathed.
Well, why can you keep it leaking?
We are very good at data protection. Subtext: We do not sell data, and do not infringe on users**.
Bluespace makes money by selling advertising models. The subtext: We have no data for sale and no infringement on users**.
We are a high-tech IT enterprise. Subtext: We do not sell data, and do not infringe on users**.
Users can voluntarily use and control accounts. Subtext: We do not sell data and do not infringe on users**.
We have a responsibility and obligation to improve our awareness and management. Subtext: We do not sell data and do not infringe on users**.
Our mission is to freely link all humanity. Subtext: We do not sell data, and do not infringe on users**.
...
Luo Sheng's powerful inner heart and calm response skills made all the interrogators and those behind the scenes who expected him to fail at the hearing completely lost their temper.
Before I knew it, it was already afternoon, and everyone was so hungry that they were dizzy, but Luo Sheng had been in good condition for a long time and could continue to answer any questions.
The reporters could hardly hold it back, let alone the old senators over there?
There is no way, so I can only continue to ask.
I saw a senator named Kendy saying, "Mr.luo, first of all, I'm not here to trouble you..."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the audience laughed. Luo Sheng sat upright and smiled, thinking: I believe you, a ghost.
Kendy continued: "One thing everyone wants to tell me today is to let me say it gently: Your user agreement terms are terrible."
Everyone burst into laughter again, and the hearing has not been serious until now.
Kendy: "I think you can give me 80 points from your IQ, do you understand? I think you understand. The purpose of your user agreement terms is to cover up the scandal of bluespace, rather than telling your users the rights of hidden worries."
Luo Sheng calmly replied: "I admit that most users will not go to the ** agreement. Protect the ** issue, and the user agreement is not the key. For users' ** prompts, we have a prompt mechanism in the future. We have made prompts in the interaction. For example, if a user decides any shared action, it will prompt you to share the object. This is for all users, whether it is your friend or your specific group. For example, when using each third-party service, you will remind you again what type of information this application needs to obtain."
As soon as this answer came out, no one in the audience came up to take over the matter.
Finally, the hearing ended after nearly seven hours. By the sixth hour, most of the lawmakers were napping, and the questioning was no longer the focus, but everyone was thinking about ending the damn hearing as soon as possible.
Shortly after the end, major media reported that many industry insiders commented on their media accounts, including Silicon Valley technology tycoons.
Most people in the technology industry commented that Luo Sheng was praised, especially the technology giants in Silicon Valley, who actually supported this matter with tacit understanding.
