Facebook CEO and founder Mark Zuckerberg is testifying to Congress Tuesday and Wednesday in the wake of a massive data breach in connection with the British data firm Cambridge Analytica. The testimony won’t just be about Cambridge Analytica, though. Lawmakers are sure to grill Zuckerberg on the spread of fake news during the 2016 presidential election and the company’s past privacy issues. We give an update on the testimony and consider the future of Facebook with a Zuckerberg expert.
