MEPs were left frustrated by Mark Zuckerberg during a grilling at the European Parliament where the Facebook founder was accused of evading questioning.
In a 90-minute hearing with a dozen of the Parliament’s leaders in Brussels, Mr Zuckerberg was pressed on Facebook’s responsibility for the Cambridge Analytica data breach, the social media giant’s compliance with new EU privacy laws, and whether Facebook was willing to co-operate with Brussels competition authorities over its market dominance in Europe.
But the hearing, which was live-streamed after lobbying from MEPs, failed to deliver answers from Mr Zuckerberg. The format meant questions from the 12 parliamentarians were collated, with Mr Zuckerberg only touching on broad themes at the end.
