WASHINGTON - Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is meeting with lawmakers on Capitol Hill for a second day on Thursday as part of an effort by the social media giant to mend its reputation as it faces a slew of government investigations.
Discussions on Wednesday with lawmakers focused mainly on election security and data privacy concerns, sources close to the meetings said. The social media giant, which is an advertising powerhouse, faces antitrust investigations by the Federal Trade Commission and a number of state attorneys general, as well as numerous legislative proposals that seek to restrict how it operates.
At an unnamed restaurant, the senators and Zuckerberg discussed “the role and responsibility of social media platforms in protecting our democracy, and what steps Congress should take to defend our elections, protect consumer data, and encourage competition in the social media space,” she said. The Facebook chief met on Wednesday with Senator Maria Cantwell, one of several lawmakers working to draft online privacy legislation.
