According to the latest reports, Mark Zuckerberg would apprise the US congress about the functioning of the Facebook. He would testify that the the internet giant would not have succeeded without US laws fostering competition, but that the rules of the internet were now required to be updated.
“Facebook is an American Company which I must say a proudly American company,” said Zuckerberg in his prepared remarks just before closely-watched House Judiciary Committee hearing.
“Facebook would not have been successful without the US laws that encourage competition and innovation,” said the Facebook CEO, acknowledging concerns about the size and the perceived powers that these companies have.
“I just called for updated rules and regulations for the internet and that is the reason I call for a more active role for the governments,” said Mark Zukercberg.
The Tech companies CEOs are going to testify before the US congress when less than 100 days were left from US elections.
