Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg plans to testify before Congress about the company’s privacy practices in coming weeks, according to a person familiar with the matter.
This person spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly. Zuckerberg is aware there is intense pressure on him to testify, this person said.
Zuckerberg said last week in a CNN interview that he’d be “happy” to testify, but didn’t commit to appear. Facebook is facing unprecedented scrutiny following reports that a data mining firm used ill-gotten data from tens of millions of its users to try to influence elections. […]
Meanwhile, Zuckerberg snubbed a summons from a British Parliamentary committee investigating the rise of fake news, offering to send senior Facebook executives instead.
This would be the first time Zuckerberg has ever testified before Congress. Last fall, the company sent its top lawyer to speak before Congress about Russian interference in the 2016 elections. Google and Twitter also sent lower-level executives to the three public hearings on the matter. …

Does this arrogant jackass think his presence is voluntary?
Will he be wearing a starched t-shirt?
Good one!
Zuck and FB rank somewhere between AIDS and syph to me.
Never had it, and don’t want it.

Anyone who thinks he is going to implicate the DNC is wrong.
He is a hard core leftist hiding behind his high walls in Palo Alto.
Testify?? Attach him to a lie detector. You really think this little sh** will tell the truth about anything?
We have the state of California in open rebellion and nothing is done. Some stupid article cones out claiming Republicans know how to use Facebook and this guy is dragged before congress a week later?
Who the hell is running this country?
“He is a hard core leftist hiding behind his high walls in Palo Alto.”
Treu, but his company is bleeding value in the billions of dollars. I saw a commentator on FBN this morning that it may now be out of the question that he relinquish control of it in order to save it.
No doubt he’s reviewing the personal data Facebook has gathered on the committee members.
Wynona confirms this post as legit.

Every photo I have ever seen of him, he is wearing the same grey T-shirt with a microphone in the collar. Does he wear anything else?
He has a pile of gray shirts so his precious brain power isn’t taxed by deciding what to wear. Really.
Every see a commie like zuck drink water?
Digital sharing is generally a Bad ThingTM.
is Zuck spying on the US Congress?
what about US intelligence agencies?
who is he selling the info to?
And he has dirt on every single Representative and Senator, teams to sift through data and produce the valuable parts.
I don’t believe anything will happen to him just as it doesn’t to Hillary or Obama because they also spied on Congress, the court, know all the secrets.
God help us.
Do you think he denies women his essence?
This appearance and his conversation before Congress, are make-or-break to his job. I think the guy is marginally effective as a CEO. Maybe as a technician or geek....he has value, but he’s just not a business manager.
I predict by the end of May....he’s pushed into a role as a consultant to the company, and he probably disappears for several months to figure out his future.
