A U.S. Senator is going viral for his misunderstanding of finstas, otherwise known as "fake Instagrams" or secondary private Instagram accounts.

Facebook's global head of safety Antigone Davis appeared for a congressional hearing on Thursday (September 30) following reports from The Wall Street Journal alleging that the company was aware Instagram is "toxic" for teen girls.

During the hearing, Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) asked her about "finstas," a slang term used to describe secondary accounts, usually used to post spam like memes, bad selfies and inside jokes.

Scary to think that him, or any politician, can completely misunderstand an issue yet have the power to change laws regarding it.

Kudos to her. If I was asked that question I would of started laughing and asked why he was there since he clearly has no clue what he's talking about.
