CEO of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg was set before a rather embarrassing situation with a Democratic senator on Tuesday during the Capitol Hill hearing.
During this session, where Zuckerberg was asked by various senators in connection with the Cambridge Analytica scandal, one of the senators Dick Durbin asked Zuckerberg: "Would you feel embarrassed if we asked you to share with us the name of the hotel where you stayed the evening past?"
After thinking briefly, Zuckerberg replied, "No."
The audience and senator's panel broke out in laughter after Zuckerberg's hesitation for answering the question. Durbin did all this to show that personal details were important and this was also the focus of the hearing.
"If you've been sending messages over the last week, do you worry about asking you to share the names of people with us?" Durbin asked.
"No, senator, I would not prefer to share here publicly," said Zuckerberg.
"This is exactly what is being discussed: the right to privacy, the limits of the right to privacy and how much you would give in this modern America," Durbin said.
What do you think about "Cambridge Analytic scandal"?
