The Zuckerberg Note Pass meme originated from Mark Zuckerberg’s 2018 congressional testimony regarding Facebook's data privacy practices. During the hearing, a photographer captured a shot of Zuckerberg's notes, which contained high-level talking points for his defense. The internet quickly seized on the image, photoshopping the paper to display various humorous, absurd, or incriminating messages. It is commonly used to frame an 'accidental' reveal or a blunt confession coming directly from the Meta CEO, making it a staple for tech-related satire and corporate commentary.
