Sen. Josh Hawley called for Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg to testify before Congress regarding allegations that Facebook provided user data to China. Hawley said the allegations could lead to a criminal referral.
Hawley accused Zuckerberg of providing misleading testimony about Meta’s dealings with China, stating that it compromised national security and prioritized profit over American user data.
Former Facebook public policy director Sarah Wynn-Williams testified that executives sought to build an $18 billion business in China, undermining American values.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal expressed concern that Zuckerberg’s actions jeopardized national security, stating that the American people are likely to be outraged.
