Mark Zuckerberg refuses to testify before the British Parliament

-




Facebook owner and founder Mark Zuckerberg refused to ask a British parliamentary committee to explain the role of his company in leaking information to 50 million users of the social networking giant.
The committee on digital, cultural, media and sports affairs in London's parliament asked Zuckerberg personally to attend, but in a letter on Monday, the company offered instead to send its chief technology officer or chief production officer.

In a tweet on Tuesday, Commission Chairman Damien Collins wrote that Facebook producer Chris Cox was asked to appear before the committee.
"Given the seriousness of these issues, we still believe that Mark Zuckerberg is the right person to testify," he said.
Facebook has faced sharp criticism since a Cambridge Analytics analyst said it had used information about some 50 million social networking users without their approval for President Trump's campaign for the 2016 presidential election.

Christopher Willy told the same parliamentary committee on Tuesday that Facebook data is a "core data set" for Cambridge Analytica.

Willy, a co-founder of Cambridge Analytica, described the earlier testimony of company chairman Alexander Knicks about using Facebook data as "dishonest."

The European Union said on Tuesday that Facebook should do more to face accusations of mass data extraction and that the issue had implications for the democratic process.
