Zuckerberg gave interviews to a number of media outlets after days of silence on reports that Cambridge Analytica used data obtained through Facebook to help Donald Trump’s campaign target users in 2016. Zuckerberg covered a range of other topics, including speaking in front of Congress, possible government regulations and a long-awaited apology. He said the company would soon inform “everyone whose data was affected by these rogue apps” that have misused users’ information. “There are going to be some new tactics that we need to make sure that we observe and get in front of,” he said. Zuckerberg also expressed the need for greater transparency at Facebook and said the company was open to some government regulation akin to that imposed on television and print media.
