Washington (AP)-Under fire for the worst privacy fiasco in
his company’s history. Facebook CEO and Founder Mark Zuckerberg battled away
often-aggressive questioning from lawmakers who accused him of failing to
protect the personal information of millions of Americans from Russians intent
on upsetting the U.S. election
During five hours of Senate questioning Tuesday, Zuckerberg
apologized several times for Facebook failures, disclosed that his company was
working with special counsel Robert Mueller in the federal probe of Russian
election interference and said it was working hard to change its own operations
after the harvesting of users’ private data by a data mining company affiliated
with Donald’s Trump campaign.
Ahead of the hearing John Cornyn of Texas, the No.2
Republican in the senate said, “This is a serious matter and I think people
expect us to take action .”
In all, he skated largely unharmed through his first day of
congressional testimony. He’ll face House questioners Wednesday.
