Did we learn anything revelatory from yesterday's tech CEO testimony?

I didn't read all of it, but I didn't see anything major in the parts I did read.

Most of these congressional investigations are pedantic fluff, questions to garner political points with constituents, and well rehearsed answers/talking points. With the level of coaching CEOs at that level receive, both in general communications and relationship management as well as specific coaching for the investigation, there's almost no chance of anything truly earth-shattering coming out.

Maybe I'm just a sad, jaded individual contributor...

One thing that stood out to me was each CEO declaring their unwaivering support for the police and US military when pressed by Republican members. It was presented as a false dichotomy of course, but none took a stand of hesitation towards that support.

This goes contradictory to what they've communicated to their employees as of late.

I understand they can be speaking in false promises but it was interesting to see them all tow the line when asked.

My question now is, how do the employees of these companies feel about the public position their CEOs took yesterday on that?

In a nutshell they answered “I don’t agree with that characterization” or “I don’t remember, can I follow up with your office?” to a lot of the questions. Followed by waffling on about their mission statement until being interrupted with the next question. To me it came off as a group of CEOs giving long winded non-answers. Not much substance.

There's no interest in anything regulatory from the Senate and POTUS beyond symbolic hearings and memos.
