A Democratic congressman hammered Facebook and its CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, following a report that the company is sharing large amounts of its users’ data with other companies.

“Sure looks like Zuckerberg lied to Congress about whether users have ‘complete control’ over who sees our data on Facebook," Rep. David Cicilline (D-R.I.) tweeted on Sunday.

“This needs to be investigated and the people responsible need to be held accountable,” the top Democrat on the House Judiciary antitrust subcommittee continued.

With all the lies coming out of Congress these days, I don’t see a problem. You don’t tell me the truth, I don’t tell you the truth.

Facebook may have preexisting contracts that have to be honored.

The data might have been shared in the past and still be in the hands of entities with current rights to it.

But there was no intent on his part so it is okay.

A user can hardly expect to spill their life on Facebook and have it be a secret.

Oh, yeah. It isn’t anything a largish donation to the DNC won’t clear up.

Anyone with a pair of ears knew Zuckerberg was lying through his teeth ... couldn't provide answers to even basic security questions that he had to know. "Senator, let me take that question for the record and get back to my team for the answer." Over and over and over and over.

And none of the dickless senators pursued him at all.

If Zuky lies under oath to Congress, he should be arrested. It’s time to reestablish the rule of law.
