Mark Zuckerberg’s two marathon days of Congressional hearings, at the very least, may have shifted the conversation around regulation from a possibility to an inevitability. While the Facebook CEO kicked off his House committee hearing Wednesday with the same opening statement he gave the Senate a day earlier, there were some revelations. Zuckerberg admitted his own data was exposed to Cambridge Analytica and that Facebook does collect information on people who aren’t even Facebook users. At the start of the week, there were still a lot of questions over whether regulation would actually happen. But after the two hearings, the tone shifted to what that regulation should look like. Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI), who sits on the House committee that questioned Zuckerberg Wednesday, spoke to Cheddar before the hearing. She said the Honest Ads Act, which is meant to make online political ads more transparent and was brought up repeatedly at the hearings, “is just the beginning.” She pointed to European privacy laws as potential models legislators could follow. “Yes, cultures are different,” she acknowledged, “but there are some very basic things there that I think we need to be looking at in the United States as well.” Recent legislation in Europe, which goes into effect later this year, will force companies across industries to reveal what data they are collecting on customers and how they use it, as well as to notify users when their information has been breached. Policies to counter hate speech in the EU require companies to remove instances within a 24-hour time frame. That particular point, though, could run up against the First Amendment in the U.S., according to The New Yorker’s contributing editor [Andrew Marantz](https://cheddar.com/videos/will-the-u-s-adopt-european-style-regulation). The onus now lies on lawmakers to take what they may or may not have learned from Zuckerberg’s hearings and draw up appropriate regulations. “The fact that we’re talking about this at all is a big shift,” said Marantz. “It does seem like we’re much closer to this kind of regulation being passed than we ever have been before.” For full interview, [click here](https://cheddar.com/videos/rep-debbie-dingell-d-mi-previews-zucks-house-testimony).

Al Sharpton to lead pro-DEI march through Wall Street
The Rev. Al Sharpton is set to lead a protest march on Wall Street to urge corporate America to resist the Trump administration’s campaign to roll back diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives. The New York civil rights leader will join clergy, labor and community leaders Thursday in a demonstration through Manhattan’s Financial District that’s timed with the anniversary of the Civil Rights-era March on Washington in 1963. Sharpton called DEI the “civil rights fight of our generation." He and other Black leaders have called for boycotting American retailers that scaled backed policies and programs aimed at bolstering diversity and reducing discrimination in their ranks.
A US tariff exemption for small orders ends Friday. It’s a big deal.
Low-value imports are losing their duty-free status in the U.S. this week as part of President Donald Trump's agenda for making the nation less dependent on foreign goods. A widely used customs exemption for international shipments worth $800 or less is set to end starting on Friday. Trump already ended the “de minimis” rule for inexpensive items sent from China and Hong Kong, but having to pay import taxes on small parcels from everywhere else likely will be a big change for some small businesses and online shoppers. Purchases that previously entered the U.S. without needing to clear customs will be subject to the origin country’s tariff rate, which can range from 10% to 50%.
Southwest Airlines’ new policy will affect plus-size travelers. Here’s how
Southwest Airlines will soon require plus-size travelers to pay for an extra seat in advance if they can't fit within the armrests of one seat. This change is part of several updates the airline is making. The new rule starts on Jan. 27, the same day Southwest begins assigning seats. Currently, plus-size passengers can pay for an extra seat in advance and later get a refund, or request a free extra seat at the airport. Under the new policy, refunds are still possible but not guaranteed. Southwest said in a statement it is updating policies to prepare for assigned seating next year.
