As we've reported before, this is a bad time to be Facebook. The company is under fire for a number of scandals around the world, and now, they're facing outrage from parliamentarians who intended to question Zuckerberg over the Cambridge Analytica data scandal. Instead of getting Facebook's CEO, the 24 representatives from the UK, Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, France, Ireland, Latvia, and Singapore got Richard Allan, Facebook's vice-president of policy solutions. When answering some of the questions, Allan allegedly told the representatives that "he would have to come back with more details," while Damian Collins told the BBC that the documents recently seized from Facebook could be published next week.
"We've never seen anything quite like Facebook, where, while we were playing on our phones and apps, our democratic institutions... seem to have been upended by frat-boy billionaires from California," Canadian lawmaker Charlie Angus said at a special international hearing at Britain's parliament. "So Mr Zuckerberg's decision not to appear here at Westminster (Britain's parliament) to me speaks volumes," he said, later suggesting Facebook could be broken up to help address the issues.
