version that is free. it is our mission to help connect everyone around the world and bring the world closer together. in order to do that, we need to offer a service that everyone can afford and we're committed to doing that. >> if so, how do you sustain a business model in which users don't pay for your service? >> senator, we ran ads. >> i see. >> this is not the first time facebook has gotten in trouble with the federal government. it's not the first time facebook has testified before congress. it's certainly not the first time mark zuckerberg as apologized for violating people's privacy. here's another look at wednesday's testimony. >> would you be comfortable sharing with us the name of the hotel you stayed in last night? >> um -- no. >> if you've messaged anybody this week, would you share with us the names of the people you've messaged? >> senator, no, i would probably

not choose to do that publicly here. >> that may be what this is all about. your right to privacy and the limits of your right to privacy and how much you give away in modern america in the name of quote, connecting people around the world. >> that's illinois senator dick durbin. in five hours of testimony, honestly we didn't learn many new facts but did learn one. facebook has now said messages were part of the data that's given to cambridge analytica, facebook told us that in disclosures that it sent users yesterday telling them whether or not their data was taken. cambridge analytica says it didn't look at your messages even though it had access. we're not talking about posts, we're talking about the individual private messages you sent on facebook. were you affected by cambridge analyt analytica or did one of your friends drag you into it? i posted both on twitter and facebook how to figure that out. >> a lot of people want to know,

deeming the executive order unconstitutional following two lawsuits by san francisco and santa clara counties saying president trump did not have the authority to add these new conditions to funding already approved by congress. but the department of justice says that executive order only applies to what they consider a small amount of money for the cities and counties and already complies with federal immigration law. all of this is happening as the justice department decides to sue california in march over three state laws including one that will limit local law enforcement to turn people over to immigration authorities now texas and more than a dozen other states led by republican governors support this saying california laws interfere or block federal immigration enforcement but the oral arguments will take place later this morning. set to start at 8:15 a.m. we're live near the golden gate bridge, pete suratos for "today in the bay." now to the latest syrian crisis, president trump is responding overnight after

project is $10 billion. new video from last month's deadly police shooting in sacramento will be released within a week. the police chief says that the new video will be from body cameras worn by other responders officers and squad cars in addition to the video you're seeing now that was already released days after the shooting. stephon clark was shot and killed by sacramento police last no. me thought he had a gun but turned out he had a cell phone. >> the sacramento police chief is answering tough questions about the changes that the department has made in the wake of stephon clark's shooting. the department was criticized when the first body camera footage was released. officers put their cameras on mute in the moments after that shooting. now the police chief announced the new restrictions on when officers can use that function. >> any time an officer deactivates or mutes their camera, they must now audibly
