After five hours of testimony before the Senate Tuesday, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg was on Capitol Hill again Wednesday, this time facing questions from a House panel.
He appeared before the House Energy and Commerce Committee beginning at 10 a.m. You can watch here:
The hearings come in the wake of the revelation that the political consulting firm Cambridge Analytica — hired by the Trump campaign in the run-up to the 2016 presidential election — improperly gathered users' data. Facebook has reported that data from up to 87 million users were improperly shared with Cambridge Analytica. Zuckerberg has apologized to the public.
Tuesday, he apologized in front of Senate lawmakers, disclosing that Facebook was "working with" special counsel Robert Mueller in the federal probe of Russian election interference. He also said Facebook is working hard to change its own operations.
The data privacy controversy has brought a flood of bad publicity for Facebook and sent the company's stock value plunging, but Zuckerberg seemed to achieve a measure of success in countering that yesterday: Facebook shares surged 4.5 percent for the day, the biggest gain in two years.
