> if Zuck's approach to interact with the press and congress actually backfires

Since when Zuckerberg speaks, he always seems to be equivocating if not outright lying, and his historical responses when Facebook has been called out for being abusive in the past has always been lots of promises with no real changes, I suspect so.

> It'll be interesting to see how they modify things given Zuck's recent pivot towards focusing on privacy as a core feature.

That entire effort is Facebook's attempt to change the topic to something that is less threatening to them. The real issue is the privacy invasions from Facebook itself. Everything about their "pivot towards privacy" is premised on the privacy threat being actors external from Facebook.
