Lawmakers zero in on Zuckerberg
Mark Zuckerberg is drawing intense scrutiny from lawmakers demanding that the Facebook founder testify to Congress about the Cambridge Analytica controversy.
Facebook's data practices are under the microscope like never before following a report that the British research firm connected to President Trump's campaign improperly obtained information on 50 million Facebook users as it sought to find ways of influencing voters at the polls.
On Monday, the top Republicans on the Senate Commerce Committee - Sens. John Thune (S.D.), Roger Wicker (Miss.) and Jerry Moran (Kan.) - sent a list of questions to Zuckerberg about the "troubling" reports, with Moran saying Zuckerberg needed to testify.
"That's our first step, and then I think testimony in front of the Commerce Committee would be appropriate and required," Moran told reporters on Tuesday. "I think there's a lot of questions left to be answered."
