Mark Zuckerberg tells CNN he is 'happy to' testify before Congress

Mark Zuckerberg is leaving the door open to testifying before Congress in the wake of a data debacle that has upended Facebook this week.

"The short answer is I'm happy to if it's the right thing to do," the Facebook CEO told CNN's Laurie Segall in an exclusive TV interview airing on "Anderson Cooper 360."

"What we try to do is send the person at Facebook who will have the most knowledge," Zuckerberg said. "If that's me, then I am happy to go."

Politicians on both sides of the Atlantic have called for Zuckerberg to testify before their legislative bodies in the five days since the Cambridge Analytica scandal erupted.

In the interview with CNN, Zuckerberg suggested the question was not whether Facebook should be regulated so much as how best to do it. Ref. CNN.
