Mark Zuckerberg, the founder and CEO of the social media giant Facebook has been testified before the Congress for the first time on Tuesday, April 10, for his and company’s failure to protect user information following the Cambridge Analytica Scam. Mark Zuckerberg has been asked to appear for joint hearing organised by Senate judiciary and commerce committees. On Wednesday, Zuckerberg testified in front of the house Energy and Commerce Committee. It won’t be easy for Mark Zuckerberg.
There will be no of people ought who to Facebook to be broken. Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., recently said: “There are have been a number of proposals and ideas for doing it, and I think unless [Zuckerberg] finds a way to honour the promise he made several years ago, he’s gonna have a law on his hands.”
There are lots of people believe that he should resign or fired from his job. On Tuesday, ahead of the first testimony in front of Congress, an activist investor group Open MIC and its CEO Michael Connor said in a statement, “Mark Zuckerberg prepared testimony highlights a simple fact: He doesn’t understand how a large, global and publicly held company is run. He currently has two jobs at Facebook – CEO and Chairman of the boards. It’s time for him to give up at least one, if not both, titles.”
“It is long past time for Facebook to separate the roles of company CEO and Chairman,” Connor continued, “and for Mark Zuckerberg to resign or be fired.”
Zuckerberg will do his best to defend himself and his company from questions from Congress.
