- Story Text:Republican and Democratic lawmakers alike blasted Facebook CEO mark Zuckerberg on Wednesday (October 23) for failing to crack down on online child exploitation and political misinformation, and for data privacy lapses. Several said they did not trust Facebook to help provide financial services to its 2.4 billion users given the past scandals.
Zuckerberg fended off aggressive questions on election interference, free speech, hate groups and fake news from members of the U.S. House of Representatives Financial Services Committee.
Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez chided Zuckerberg on Facebook's policy of allowing political ads containing false or misleading information. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
