Samantha Bee is not known for holding back. And hoo-boy, she let it rip tonight against CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook during a segment on her show “Full Frontal with Samantha Bee.”

“You can’t fix Facebook because, in the words of Lady Gaga, ‘Baby, it was born this way,’” she says on the episode, which airs tonight at 10:30 pm ET on TBS.

Facebook has faced a litany of criticism for Cambridge Analytica (which just announced today that it was closing its U.S.- and U.K.-based operations) and its handling of personal data. It got so bad that Mark Zuckerberg had to come before Congress and answer a bunch of semi-on-point questions about how Facebook actually works. (Spoiler: Even Zuckerberg doesn’t really have all the answers.)

“Facebook isn’t evil. Facebook is more like a robot that eats human skin,” says Bee in the segment. “Maybe that robot does amazing things, like cure cancer or make Thin Mints. That’s great. But it’s fueling those amazing things with human skin, and you can’t be surprised when a human-skin-eating robot starts skinning people. That’s what you built it to do. The only way to stop it from building skin traps is to either shut it down or fundamentally change the way it works.”
