mark zuckerberg breaking his silence to say i'm sorry. is that enough? lawmakers are demanding more. they want him to testify before congress. zuckerberg is open to it. >> the short answer is i'm happy to do so if it is the right thing to do. facebook testifies on a number of topics regularly. high profile or not. our objective is to provide congress with the important job to have the most information that they can so we try to send the person at facebook who will have the most knowledge of what congress is trying to learn. if that is me, i'm happy to go. >> you are the brand of facebook. people want to hear from you. >> that's why i'm doing this interview. in the issue of congressional testimony, what is the goal? that's not a media opportunity or it is not supposed to be one. the goal there is to get congress all the information they need to do their extremely important job. we want to make sure we send whoever is best informed of doing that. >> here come the regulators from the u.s. and urin-- u.s. and eu. that is hurting the stock price losing $50 mi

spoke to people since zuckerberg's post and there is a range of opinions.nalysts are saying this is a good first step. others are saying this is too little, too late. the public has moved on to bigger questions about facebook and zuckerberg's post narrowly addresses the problems with developer platforms. the bigger question is about thate's data and what facebook should have notified people about the breach in 2015. haidi: is not just about public discontent, but within the company we are expecting zuckerberg and insiders to address employees and they didn't. i should say yesterday, the company had a meeting with employees to try to answer employ questions about what is going on. they sent a lawyer to that employees were disappointed in that because zuckerberg as a leader always tried to say facebook is doing good for the world. sandberg hotspot how it is important to be open and transparent, and neither was at the meeting. facebook new whatever was said the, and zuckerberg is going to speak later today on a new station and yet this post, which was carefull

zuckerberg. >> i just want to be clear.headline about mark zuckerberg not testifying, that is as big an indictment of facebook as it is the u.s. congress because the u.s. congress -- >> can you subpoena him? >> you can. and i'm saying the u.s. congress, after everything that happened in the elections, was fine taking only the lawyers for these companies. no disrespect to lawyers. i love lawyers. but if you want to talk about policy and corporate responsibility, you need the ceos there. these are the same ceos -- >> we talked about it earlier. whlt financial crisis happened, the bank ceos with the tails between their legs shrinked down to washington. >> it's not only zuckerberg. these ceos give a lot of money to both parties. so, during a wide ranging probe over this whole year, the congress never got around to making ceos show up. mark zuckerberg's comment was he went farther thant he wanted to. there will be incredible pressure building with senator warner a warn warner -- >> they don't have a true understanding of what fa

unfortunately mark zuckerberg does not want to let mark zuckerberg go right now.ow, do you think? he has offered some things which will help, among them the ability for users to find and remove far more easily than they can do now the apps they have given access to data on their site but which they have no use for the last two months. all of those things you hook up to your facebook account and forget about, in the future you will be reminded and say maybe you want to unlink this. it has promised the wide—ranging order that they should have done back in 2015 when they we re have done back in 2015 when they were first aware of this. —— wide—ranging audit. going through apps with untrammelled access to user data for seven years, finding the ones which abused as ants notifying users that they have had their data taken. he spoke about a breach of trust, how much do you think there has been mapped and how much do you think it concerns people who use his site everyday and can like all the other offerings it puts in front of them? i think there has been a breach of trust

of steps that zuckerberg is taking that he has to address. >> if you are zuckerberg, what would you be most concerned about? tony: the penalty this carries could be incredibly steep. you have the wind back to 2011 when the ftc went after facebook for another unrelated privacy mishap. the ftc said that facebook would 20 years ofo privacy checkups by an independent company and would have to take steps to ensure user information was secure. now they are at it again to see if they broke the terms of that settlement. if they did they could face fines up to $40,000 per violation. beckett reach well above millions -- that could reach well above millions of the ftc finds multiple accounts. >> a few tweets in the past 24 hours from members of the united that throwing shade on the ad. the cost of an new york times apology ad is around $100,000 and the cost to testify to congress is zero dollars. the american people deserve more than a newspaper ad, they deserve nation. -- they deserve an explanation. >> has invited suck for -- to invited mark zuckerberg testify april 10 hearing. we have a call f

what was striking there, despite zuckerberg's statement today, is that normally zuckerberg has , been one to be the damage controller, to come out and address employees. the fact that they put this lawyer in front of the company was a disappointment to some. i think there is a pretty big disconnect at facebook. it is a largely left-leaning staff, obviously based in silicon valley, most of them voted for democrats. on the other hand, this is a company that has to be neutral because they want to have people from both parties. the trump phenomenon, and this specific scandal, presents a bit of a problem for them, because it requires zuckerberg to be balanced, but also cater to these, a lot of bleeding heart liberals who work there. caroline: talking of catering, now needs to cater potentially the business for the future. sarah talk to us about the , business model now fares from here. some analysts talk about radical action that needs to be taken, more radical action than has been taken in the past, particularly regarding how you might limit segmenting of the audience. you might be able t

why haven't we heard from mark zuckerberg and sharon sandberg?ow the market continues to struggle amid the facebook turmoil and a large tech selloff. face back has wiped out gates for the entire 2018 plunging as much as 13% in the past two days. for more let's bring in abigail doolittle. 45 billion dollars in market cap. abigail: and it is still evolving, and if we take a look at the heart of the matter, image analytic had access and retained data on facebook users -- 50 million users without their permission. facebook learned of this back in 2015 and they did not do anything to tell those users or to secure the data. facebook is saying this does not constitute a hack or breach but they do not allow that type of data to be sold to a firm. great thaty area, so the ftc is launching a prop to see whether or not this is a violation of the 2011 consent agreement act. if there is some violation it could equal a massive fine. it could be a stunningly large fine and worst-case scenario for facebook could be a big fine. that is also bringing the governmen

if chuck grassley wants to subpoena zuckerberg to testify, they could. decide whether or not their executives sit down in front of leaders in washington. one thing that's interesting, that speaks to the power of these tech companies, i believe it was last year there was a big congressional hearing about the technology companies and the way that they interacted with russian meddling and none of their ceos were there, they sent in their lawyers. >> they sent people, mark zuckerberg and sheryl sandberg are household names. most americans know exactly who they are and who their faces are. we were all excited for that testimony last year. and they were people we've never seen or heard of. while the white house is sort of distancing itself from cambridge analytica, most people have never even heard jared kushner speak, the one interview i recall him doing last year with "forbes" magazine, he was happy to say how closely they worked with cambridge analytica on what a good job they did. remember that. guys, thank you. we're going to leave it there. >>> president

zuckerberg. not his lawyer. mr. zuckerberg in the flesh. come and talk with us.few questions. to what extent, if any, when we go on facebook are we living in a controoifd world created by facebook's algorithms. sort of like truman in "the truman show." i would like to know to what extent facebook has been a good steward of our data. i like to talk about the bargain we've made with facebook. we know what we as consumers get. we get free access to the site. what exactly does facebook get, and what are they doing with it? how do we preserve the good things about facebook, and there are good things. at the same time stopping the corrosive effects of facebook as a social media platform and other social media platforms. >> senator, this sounds like more than just a response to a single incident. this sounds like a full body exam that's going to take a long time to get through. >> yes, and it's worth it. let me show you the game. facebook does many good things. it does in some respects bring us closer together, but in other respects we have discovered it pushes us apart

zuckerberg to testify. there's still a lot of questions. one thing becoming clear, it's getting more difficult for zuckerberg to avoid appearing before lawmakers himself last week he did say he would do so if he was the right person. many government officials are saying he is, in fact, the right person, not one of his deputies or another representative. a bipartisan group of 37 states attorneys generals are asking for explanations on the data practices. a letter says facebook needs to answer our questions so we can know if the company is upholding its end of the bargain with customers. >> damian collins the head of a parliamentary inquiry into fake news says zuckerberg's decision to not appear before mps was astonishing. he said it was urgent for the facebook found tore testimoer tn person we will be hearing from damian collins himself at 10:30 cet stay tuned for that. just a quick note, employ boy talking about inappropriate behavior around facebook, and the lads magazine says the miss management use of data has solidified its decision to

mark zuckerberg finally broke his silence yesterday. you can see what he had to say ins rt it was drawn by peter brooks. it looks like facebook is using rare editorial judgment. butooks really concerned, not with the news itself but the impact it has had on facebook, causing the stock to drop a 10% over the past couple of days. not a lot of sympathy for mark zuckerberg in the press. a columnist with the guardian writes that the scanda one of facebook's on making. saying that facebook has worked tirelessly to gather as much data from users as they can and profit from it. acoouss less willing to share information about themselves. >> the #deletefacebook has been gaining steam, as we have seen it do at other times when facebook has come under fire for things like spreading fake news. as much as you might hate facebook, getting rid of it is hard. facebook istting like trying to leave a store that is giving away candy. they say they are clever and when you try to delete the app they will pop up pictures of your friends and say they will miss

zuckerberg has a lot of explaining to do.ct, he's doing it right now, but some say that his statement today and his interview now is long overdue. after being missing for days while the cambridge analytica scandal unraveled, facebook founder mark zuckerberg broke his silence saying he was spending time investigating what happened. in a statement posted to his own facebook page zuckerberg said, "we have a responsibility to protect your data and if we can't, then we don't deserve to serve you. i've been working to understand exactly what happened and how to make sure this doesn't happen again." >> a lot of people are asking themselves why now? >> reporter: antonio garcia martinez with wired magazine used to be an administering for facebook. he says the tools are apps that allowed cambridge analytica to harvest the data of 50 million facebook users to target political ads for tramp have been around for years. >> obama campaign operatives basically admitted to doing the exact same thing in 2012. you know, why now? i think one of

we've yet to hear from ceo founder mark zuckerberg. isaac is a tech correspondent.d morning mike, i am curious about what you think happens next as far as what mark zuckerberg has to say and get to the core of what the scandal really is here facebook's rules, their api rules allowed for this type of data to be collected back when this happened, but this researcher collected ostensibly for noncommercial purposes was anybody collecting this for commercial purposes back then? >> yes, this is the sort of problem that facebook finds itself in right now. so i have been talking to a lot of programmers and developers in the valley in the past week since this dropped and, you know, a lot of the practices that this researcher was doing totally abided by facebook's api platform rules for app developers who want to access user data, pre2015 i think a lot of companies that had apps that used facebook platform back then are nervously shifting around and looking at each other, saying when are they going to tell everyone this was widely common practice >> it wasn't all research, so

sheryl zuckerberg and sandberg responded to the data privacy breach. sandberg posting a blog saying an action atgrets mark zuckerberg indicating that facebook will review its platform and investigate all apps and take action. we will see how this shakes out. julie: other interesting thing about mark's posting is that it betweenach of trust facebook and cambridge analytica and he is saying they did something they were not supposed to do. even at this moment as everyone wanted a response from him he is still shifting the responsibility. he is saying they are making changes, but shifting the responsibility. joe: trying to walk a fine line saying we know that users feel their trust has been breached but there is also a saying that with the policies we had in place had been abided -- scarlet: a little defensive sounding. plungingeneral mills after shipping costs and other expenses sweet margins. squeezed margins. deutsche bank shares are off after less than a week after a bullish tone and the ceo of the bullish bank said that game against the dollar will re

caroline: we heard your voice calling for mark zuckerberg.s looking into whether facebook potentially has broken the consent decree. do you think regulators will get involved in the united kingdom as well? a very yes, this is interesting issue. in european law, there are restrictions based on people's political views and opinions. with that legislation didn't necessarily consider was the fact that people may harvest huge amounts of consumer data, data that people consented to give as part of surveys on their opinions or consumer habits. but they never consented for that data to be used in a political campaign or held by a company that is not a registered political party. this is a big area of concern and something the u.k. information commission is looking at. caroline: do think any changes will could -- will be put in place internally by facebook? what changes would you like to see put in place to put your mind to rest? damian: our concern is the way they manage and handle data. to understand how easy it is for developers and others to acqui

zuckerberg himself is worth an estimated $66 billion. that is after this week's stock trouble, which erased $9 billion from his personal fortune. how on earth can the person worth $66 billion because of facebook not be the person called to speak before congress? the foundation of the company and its founder's fortunes add revenue. facebook brought in $40 billion in advertising alone in 2017. more than 98% of the company's total revenue. that is up more than nine times what it was just five years ago. so you and me, we're not the customers. mark zuckerberg, he doesn't need to please us. we're his product. we're his product that he sells to his real customers, the advertisers. after the stock took a beating early this week, it is already up. not near where it was, but it is showing signs of recovery. before the company has even taken a single concrete step. if you were thinking of trying to take your tiny slice of the company's profits away by del e deleting your facebook account, look at this. say you post a picture, have a company on wha

analyst reaction so far to the comments by zuckerberg have been mixed.aniel eaves says this is a step in the right direction an analyst in london says this could hit users. we've seen over the past few quarters that daily average users have not been growing. so still a rocky time for the company. the true impact will be seen in the next few quarters for facebook >> also mark had said in that interview that he had not seen a big delesion of facebook accounts there there has been demand, this is something analysts were concerned about, about how much penalty they could face over this scandal and what the fall oout would be there's been requests for him to show up in the uk and answer those questions. did he have anything to say about whether he's willing to sit in front of lawmakers and hash this out? >> he said that if congress called him, he would be open to going to testify in front of the lawmakers there. that depends on if he's the right person to talk about that. there's lots of questions about what potential impact regulation would have on facebook
