Among clips of sweaty bodies writhing in ecstatic union, Pornhub users might just spy a video of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s blistering interrogation of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg from the House Financial Services Committee hearing on October 23. Either that or someone was having fun in Photoshop.

In a photo making the social media rounds, the tense Q&A appears to have made it to the adult video platform with the title “Public humiliation Femdom.”
Omg. Who did this? ???? pic.twitter.com/hzMIiRJSaZ

And Twitter users are applauding the upload. “Captioning AOC drag Zuckerberg by his ashy roots as ‘Public Humiliation Femdom’ on PornHub is the best thing I’ve seen all week,” one tweeted.
How about we take this to the next level?

.@AOC: When was the Cambridge Analytica issue discussed with your board member Peter Thiel?
Mark Zuckerberg: I don’t know
AOC: You don’t know? This was the largest data scandal with respect to your company that had catastrophic impacts on the 2016 election, you don’t know? pic.twitter.com/cIKgsyvPVL

At the hearing, AOC demanded answers about Facebook’s Cambridge Analytica scandal while she weighed the pros and cons of the social media platform’s Libra cryptocurrency project.
And she ripped into Zuck when he couldn’t answer questions about the chronology of the Cambridge Analytica flap.
“You don’t know?” she asked. “This was the largest data scandal with respect to your company that had catastrophic impacts on the 2016 election. You don’t know?”

She also pegged him, so to speak, on Facebook’s policy toward political ads with misinformation. “So you will take down lies, or you won’t take down lies?” she inquired. “I think this is a pretty simple yes or no.”
“It depends on the context that it shows up,” Zuck said, stammering.
.@AOC: Could I run ads on Facebook targeting Republicans in primaries saying that they voted for the Green New Deal?
Mark Zuckerberg: I don’t know the answer to that off the top of my head. I think probably. pic.twitter.com/wy46phoGp5

One person on Twitter, however, joked that this particular dom went too far, writing, “What kind of snuff is this? That poor teenaged boy was slaughtered!”

We hate her in NYC and cannot wait till she is out of office!
Raymundo
Speak for yourself, most people I know have great respect for her.
Kangol2
Her constituents LOVE her. You’re an outlier, as usual.
TedV
I live in NYC. I’m a Democrat. So are all my friends. Every single one of us thinks she is a media creation that too often speaks too much while knowing too little. Her terrible attacks on Amazon were a perfect example. She kept harping and got……..nothing.
Hussain-TheCanadian
Bull crap, Amazon tucked its tail between its leg and came back to New York to open offices without the need to concede billions of dollars in tax payer money. You and your friends shouldnt be saying “shes a media creation who knows very little” while you have no idea what you’re talking about.
Cam
You mean when she accurately pointed out that for the money Amazon was being handed they could have given everybody in that section of NYC $5,000?
Oh, and it’s cute you pretend to be from NYC.

@Cam
“for the money Amazon was being handed ”
Do you even think before you type? Giving someone tax incentives or an incentivized rate (to collect more tax dollars than you would without their business and new jobs) is not handing someone money
For example, if I sell something for $20 off to motivate you to buy it, I’m not handing you $20. There’s the opportunity cost of you not buying it at full price resulting in zero revenue versus collecting more revenue from incentives. Clearly you never majored in business, accounting, or finance and never owned a business.
Hussain-TheCanadian
Opportunity cost as a concept does not apply to taxes and tax streams, which essentially is the people’s money, not the local government’s.
Amazon wanted socialized government funded operation in the way of having taxes not apply to its start up costs and revenue stream, but sure has no issue having its workers taxed.
If Bazos wants to play the capitalist game, then pay up, dont rely on government hand outs (which is exactly what he was asking for).

I don’t always like her but she was at her best here! She asked sharp questions that Zuckerberg struggled with:
“Would I be able to run advertisements on Facebook targeting Republicans in primaries saying they voted for the Green New Deal? If you’re not fact-checking political advertisements, I’m trying to understand the bounds here of what’s fair game.”
M.Z.: “I don’t know the answer to that off the top of my head.”
Apparently the answer is YES! And yes, that weasel Peter Thiel is a FB board member, thanks for reminding us. Ugh.
rustyiam
Her staff wrote those ridiculous questions meant to get the socialist and anti American yet more attention!
Vince
Oh you tell em rusty. Get those libtards and socialists. Now get back to fox news and hannity for more talking points.
rustyiam
Vince my gawd you are such an idiot! I hate to break it to you but most people find her politics deplorable yes Fox News fans feel that way but so do most Democrats and centrists!
RomanHans
Sad little trolls pretending they’re from NYC when they couldn’t afford bus fare to get here. AOC is a hero and we need more like her to get rid of Trump and all of his grifting Repub accomplices.
Cam
Well Well Well, two brand new screenames claiming to be from NYC. Hey trolls, try checking out her poll numbers in her district before you try to deflect the topic of Facebook being paid money to run false ads.
Cam
Facebook told the government of Germany that they had the ability to track who bought political ads and could insure that the ads were all above board.
The German government said “Great, prove it to us”……..
Facebook then stated they would no longer accept political ads for Germany. In other words, Facebook lied, they don’t track political ads, and now Mark Zuckerberg is saying that paying Facebook to run lies is free speech and he won’t monitor it.
JaredMacBride
Zuckerberg is a successful billionaire. Cortes is a hack politician who wins votes for the Republicans every time she opens her mouth, which is far too often. Both parties spam the hell out of Facebook.
Vince
The fact that you trumptards hate her so much must mean she’s doing something right.
Man About Town
What puzzled me about the session is that he seemed completely unprepared to answer her questions, which makes me wonder, what did he think was gonna happen when he showed up? She was gonna ask “So how are your kids?”
Kangol2
I love how right-wingers love to attack this woman but never focus on the substance of her politics or her performances in committee hearings like this. Once again, she ran rings around an unprepared jack@ss who thought he could waltz up into a Congressional session like this with zero preparation or facts. People can belittle AOC, who has admitted her mistakes, all they want, but so far, she has been very effective when it comes to public hearings, she has been a leader among her freshperson House class, and she also is very responsive to her constituents in Queens and the Bronx. That is far more than one could say about some of the clowns posing as our federally elected representatives, in the House or Senate.
rustyiam
I’m not at all surprised that someone like would would think that to criticize this socialist / anti free speech bartender makes one a right winger!
dustashed
Hmm maybe i’m in the minority who believe it shouldn’t be facebook’s job to curtail it’s content. It’s a Platform– a Podium upon which people can shout at the top of their lungs what they believe (true or otherwise); it’s not their fault people chose to tell lies.. you don’t blame the microphone for the lies being told by the speaker
if you are going to hold someone accountable, hold the person who is on the stage
