Mark Zuckerberg is not well known for his speaking skills.
Last month, when the Facebook CEO spoke in front of Congress, he was viciously meme’d for his robotic demeanor, something he’s always gotten a lot flack for. But during his keynote at F8 on Tuesday, Facebook’s annual developer conference, Zuckerberg didn’t sound like himself. But he did sound familiar.
Fresh off the tails of the Cambridge Analytica data controversy, Zuckerberg took the stage to open the conference. While bellowing to the hall, his cadence, hand movements, vocal pitch, and demeanor seemed an awful lot like notably inspiring speaker and former president Barack Obama. Read more…

Facebook’s annual developer conference, F8, is underway, and it’s all eyes on Zuck.
The Facebook CEO opened the conference with a keynote address on Tuesday. He squared off with the elephant in the room right away: what Facebook plans to do to rebuild the user trust that was destroyed by the Cambridge Analytica scandal.
That’s why Zuckerberg spent the first several minutes of his keynote detailing changes Facebook is implementing — some old and some new in the wake of the controversy. Notably, it seems Facebook is finally admitting that its users have not had the control they should over the data Facebook collects on them — something Zuckerberg stopped just short saying in Zuckerberg’s congressional testimony.

Facebook’s massive developer conference kicked off Tuesday, but the event’s website lagged behind.
F8’s site was down at least 15 minutes before Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg was set to kick off his keynote address in San Jose, California. The social network had hyped the event on social media prior to the kickoff, making the stumble a bit awkward.
Even as Zuck addressed data privacy issues head on, the site remained down — including the livestream hosted on the event site.
f8.com is down.
