Mark Zuckerberg tells the European Parliament very little, really

24.05.2018.

The Facebook CEO’s testimony to Parliament was anticipated to be a grilling, but was more like an awkward neighborhood cookout.

What he said: Zuck apologized (yet again). He also said that Facebook is ready to follow GDPR, which includes rules like making companies get consent to use an EU resident’s data.

Big contrast: The format was a bit different compared with Zuck’s congressional testimonies. Whereas US lawmakers were given a chunk of time to grill their subject, all the European lawmakers asked their questions at once, and then Zuck responded. This let him sum up some questions, gloss over others, and offer vague responses.

However: In response to questions about whether the data leak in the Cambridge Analytica scandal is just “the tip of the iceberg,” Zuck said he expects Facebook will find other apps it wants to cut off from using its platform (so far it has knocked out more than 200).
