WASHINGTON—Facebook has signalled that CEO Mark Zuckerberg will testify before Congress by discussing the details of the appearance with lawmakers, according to a person familiar with the conversations. Three congressional committees have invited Zuckerberg to testify, including the Senate judiciary committee at an April 10 meeting about data privacy. For Facebook, that’s a feature, not a bug Zuckerberg stayed mum for nearly a week after the Cambridge Analytica controversy erupted, frustrating both lawmakers and Facebook employees. In the United States, three congressional committees requested that Zuckerberg testify. Spokespeople for the three committees — including the House energy and commerce committee and Senate commerce committee — did not respond to emails seeking comment Tuesday.
