At around 10:44, the hearing officially began.

The first old man named Richard to raise the question was a senator from Illinois.

Before we get into the nitty-gritty, I'd like to ask if you'd like to share with us the name of the hotel where you stayed last night?"

At this moment, the ongoing hearing is being broadcast live to the world, with mainstream broadcasters in Europe and the United States reporting live, as well as online.

When people saw Luo Sheng holding a "forehead ......" with a long tail, many people thought that he was a little nervous about this meeting.

In this situation, some people are worried about him, and some people are secretly excited about it.

When they 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 sweating for Luo Sheng's next hearing.

At the same time, there was a burst of laughter at the hearing, and the question looked strange, even a little gossip and childishness.

In fact, the moment this old senator named Richard spoke, he was already on topic.

This question is actually an indirect question of privacy, and "staying in a hotel" represents "personal privacy", and if Luo Sheng's answer is "yes", it means that he has no sense of privacy.

It's a pit.

And that's just the beginning.

"You said in 2004 that BlueSpace was always free, do you still think so?"

Luo Sheng replied almost without hesitation: "Yes, BlueSpace will always provide a free version. ”

"If that's the case, how do you maintain a business model where users don't pay you?"

Many people at the scene were stunned, but the melon-eating netizens on the Internet suddenly heated up, and ridiculed this parliamentarian for not understanding the Internet at all, and even felt particularly naïve.

At the same time, Luo Sheng replied methodically: "We rely on selling advertising. ”

At this time, a Hawaii state legislator asked, "So if I send an email in WhatAPP, will your advertiser know?" ”

Luo Sheng responded affirmatively: "No, we can't see the content of WhatAPP, it's encrypted." ”

Councillor: "I'm going to say that if I send an email with a preview of Avatar on WhatAPP, will I receive a banner ad for Avatar?" ”

Luo Sheng: "Our Bluestar Technology system can't see the content of the information sent out by WhatAPP. ”

Councillor: "Yes, I know, but I'm not asking about this, do these systems communicate with each other?" No human involvement? ”

Luo Sheng: "I think the answer to your question is that if you send a message about Avatar to someone on WhatAPP, it won't notify the advertisement. ”

In the eyes of many professional Internet people, and even in the eyes of most ordinary melon-eating netizens, the questions raised by the senators at the hearing are a bit silly and sweet, as if they don't know anything about the Internet.

However, Luo Sheng's response was very powerful, and was unanimously praised by many people, and in the face of one senator's questioning and questioning, he was very patient and active in analyzing and introducing it.

"Can you please tell me who you shared my data with?"

In the face of this question, Luo Sheng replied without hesitation: "We have given you a list of the apps you use, the apps you have logged in to yourself, and provided a clear consent option on the terms of the user agreement, as I said, we will not share or provide data to third parties." ”

Senator: "You can't get me to ban you from sharing my data?" ”

Luo Sheng responded: "I think you can already do this. ”

The whole hearing has lasted until now, Luo Sheng feels quite good, full of energy, and is ready to continue to accept the other party's questioning.

On the contrary, most of the parliamentarians present are tired, and most of them are old men, how can they be as good as a young man in his twenties like Luo Sheng?

Being young is the biggest asset.

Halfway through, a congressman asked Luo Sheng very "compassionately" if he wanted to rest, well, be considerate of himself.

Luo Sheng said that no, he could extend the time and continue to be questioned.

Don't you want to ask?

Then ask, until you want to throw up.

The parliamentarians had no choice but to continue asking.

Richard asked again, "How many categories of data do you store?" What are the categories of data collected and stored by Bluestar Technology? ”

Luo Sheng responded: "Can you explain what 'data category' means? ”

Richard: "It's been reported before that Bluestar collects 169 data categories, and for hundreds of millions of active users, we think that's going to generate 61.8 billion data points, and they're coming from users all over the world, so how much of that data do you store? Do you have any savings? ”

Luo Sheng replied seriously: "Mr. Councillor." I don't quite understand what you're talking about. ”

The hearing has continued until now, and everyone has realized that this young Chinese is also a hard stubble, a humble gentleman who is gentle as a jade on the surface, but in fact is so steady that you have no temper, and all the answers are leaky.

Well, how can it not leak?

We are very good at data protection. Subtext: We didn't sell data, we didn't invade user privacy.

BlueSpace makes money by selling ads, and the subtext is: we don't sell data, we don't infringe on user privacy.

We are a high-tech IT company. Subtext: We don't sell data, we don't infringe on user privacy.

Users can use and control the account on a voluntary basis. Subtext: We didn't sell data, we didn't invade user privacy.

We have a responsibility and an obligation to raise awareness and stewardship. Subtext: We didn't sell data, we didn't invade user privacy.

Our mission is to connect all of humanity freely. Subtext: We didn't sell data, we didn't invade user privacy.

……

Luo Sheng's strong heart and calm coping skills made all the interrogators and those behind the scenes who expected him to overturn at the hearing completely lose their temper.

Before I knew it, it was already afternoon, and everyone was dizzy from hunger, but Luo Sheng said that he was in good shape for a long time and could continue to answer any questions.

The reporters are almost overwhelmed, not to mention the senators over there?

I had no choice but to continue asking.

I saw a senator named Kendi say, "First of all, I'm not here to trouble you......"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience laughed, Luo Sheng sat down and smiled, and said in his heart: I believe you are a ghost.

Kendi continued, "There's one thing that everybody is trying to tell me today, and I'm going to say it gently: the terms of your user agreement are terrible. ”

The crowd laughed again, and the hearing had continued to be so serious that it had become too serious.

Kendi: "I think you can give me 80 points out of your IQ, you know?" I think you get the idea. The purpose of your User Agreement is to cover up the BlueSpace scandal, not to inform your users of their concerns. ”

Luo Sheng calmly replied: "One thing I admit is that most users will not read the privacy agreement, and the user agreement is not the key to protecting privacy. For the user's privacy reminder, we have a follow-up prompt mechanism, and we have made a prompt in the interaction. For example, if a user decides on any action to share, you'll be prompted to share with whom. This is for all users, whether it's your friends, or your friends in a specific group. For example, when you use each third-party service, it will remind you again what type of information the app needs to obtain from you. ”

As soon as this answer came out, all the parliamentarians in the audience did not come up to pick up the stubble.

Finally, the hearing ended after almost seven hours, and by the sixth hour, most of the councillors were napping, and the questioning was not the point at all, but everyone was thinking about ending the damn hearing quickly.

Soon after the end, major media reported one after another, and many industry insiders commented on their own media accounts, including many Silicon Valley technology bigwigs.

Most people in the technology community are praising Luo Sheng, especially the tech giants in Silicon Valley, who are tacitly supportive of this matter.
