WASHINGTON, DC - OCTOBER 28: CEO of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg appears on a monitor as he testifies remotely during the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee hearing 'Does Section 230's Sweeping Immunity Enable Big Tech Bad Behavior?', on Capitol Hill, October 28, 2020 in Washington, DC. CEO of Twitter Jack Dorsey; CEO of Alphabet Inc. and its subsidiary Google LLC, Sundar Pichai; and CEO of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg all testified virtually at the hearing. Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act guarantees that tech companies can not be sued for content on their platforms, but the Justice Department has suggested limiting this legislation.

Snoop Dogg may be one of the world's most famous entertainers, but SeaWorld San Diego's Clyde the Sea Lion wanted the rapper to know that he too can "Bring the Bling." Snoop Dogg, who was recently in San Diego for a concert, spent a few hours at the marine-life park interacting with several of the SeaWorld's animals and shared some center-stage time with Clyde at Sea Lion and Otter Stadium. Clyde said he'd be happy to collaborate with Snoop Dogg on one of his future hip-hop songs! Photo: Bob Couey - SeaWorld San Diego Contact: Bob Couey Visual Services Manager SeaWorld San Diego
