1/7 Mark Zuckerberg CEO of @facebook has declined the invitation from 5 Parliaments to give evidence on 27th November. Chair @DamianCollins' response:
2/7 “Facebook’s letter is, once again, hugely disappointing. We believe Mark Zuckerberg has important questions to answer about what he knew about breaches of data protection law involving their customers’ personal data..."
3/7 "...and why the company didn't do more to identify and act against known sources of disinformation; and in particular those coming from agencies in Russia."
4/7 "The fact that he has continually declined to give evidence, not just to my committee, but now to an unprecedented international grand committee, makes him look like he's got something to hide."
5/7 "We will not let the matter rest there, and are not reassured in any way by the corporate puff piece that passes off as Facebook's letter back to us.
6/7 "The fact that the University of Michigan believes that Facebook's “Iffy Quotient” scores have recently improved means nothing to the victims of Facebook data breaches."
7/7 "We will continue with our planning for the international grand committee on 27th November, and expect to announce shortly the names of additional representatives who will be joining us and our plans for the hearing."
