Zuckerberg Rebuffs Request To Appear Before UK Parliament (apnews.com)

Posted by msmash on Wednesday November 7, 2018 @02:05AM from the no-thank-you dept.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has rejected a request to appear before an international parliamentary delving into the questions around fake news. From a report: The rebuff came after Damian Collins, the head of the U.K. parliament's media committee, joined forces with his Canadian counterpart in hopes of pressuring Zuckerberg to testify, as he did before the U.S Congress. Facebook rejected the invitation to appear before the so-called "international grand committee" session Nov. 27, arguing it wasn't possible for Zuckerberg to appear before all parliaments.

Why should Zuckerberg testify before a UK governmental body? Facebook is for the record, Facebook UK LTD, a corporate entity in the UK. He is not one of the officers of that entity. The nearest person of interest in that UK entity is Sheryl Sandberg (Director).
Because despite trying their hardest to appear so, Parliament is not in fact a total bunch of muppets and do in fact know who is in charge of facebook.
