Mark Zuckerberg CEO, Facebook 1 Hacker Way Menlo Park, CA 94205 16 November 2018 Dear Mr Zuckerberg ‘International grand committee’ hearing: call for evidence On 12 November, Facebook declined the request by five parliaments that you attend a hearing of an ‘international grand committee’ in London on 27 November. We believe that there are important issues to be discussed, and that you are the appropriate person to answer them. Yesterday’s New York Times article raises further questions about how recent data breaches were allegedly dealt with within Facebook. We note that while your letter states that you are “not able to be in London” on 27th, it does not rule out giving evidence per se. Would you be amenable to giving evidence via video link instead? Brazil, Singapore and Latvia have now joined the Committee. We call on you once again to take up your responsibility to Facebook users, and to speak to their elected representatives. We would like to receive your response by Monday 19 November. Yours sincerely, DAMIAN COLLINS MP CHAIR, UK DIGITAL, CULTURE, MEDIA & SPORT SELECT COMMITTEE BOB ZIMMER MP CHAIR, CANADIAN STANDING COMMITTEE ON ACCESS TO INFORMATION, PRIVACY & ETHICS SENATOR THE HON.
