Most pressing were issues with the collection of data, plans for a heavily censored Chinese search engine, and how to best combat misinformation, including what role, if any, Google should play in stopping it. In keeping up with tradition, today’s testimony wasn’t without a bit of meme fodder.

Hey hey hey, don’t hit that keyboard just yet. Yes, I’m aware Rebellion is neither the biggest nor most-ballyhooed release in the Assassin’s Creed series this year. But I think, in terms of enjoyment per hour of time spent in the game, I just liked this one so much more. I liked it both because it feels a bit more close to the spirit of the series, and it’s one of the better mobile games I’ve played.
