We, the Congress.”Facebook Twitter Pinterest Mark Zuckerberg arrives to testify before a joint hearing of the US Senate commerce, science and transportation committee and the Senate judiciary committee. Zuckerberg acknowledged that Facebook should not have trusted Cambridge Analytica’s assurance that it would stop using the personal information it harvested. Zuckerberg confirmed that Facebook officials have been interviewed by officials from the special counsel Robert Mueller, who has been investigating Russia’s role in meddling in the 2016 election. Regulation was also brought up repeatedly, including by the Republican senator Lindsey Graham, of South Carolina, who asked Zuckerberg whether Facebook was a monopoly. Zuckerberg will face a second grilling on Wednesday from the US House energy and commerce committee.
