Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently testified before Congress after the Cambridge Analytica data misuse scandal broke. A parliamentary committee in the United Kingdom had also invited the CEO to appear before it and answer questions however, Zuckerberg declined that invitation and offered to send other high-level executives in his place. The committee members weren’t impressed and they issued a threat of a formal summons if he declined to appear before them and despite that risk, Zuckerberg has “no plans” to go before the committee.
Facebook has already sent its chief technology officer Mike Schroepfer before the committee but he wasn’t able to address their concerns properly and more than 40 questions were left unanswered. The committee then requested Zuckerberg to appear in person yet again and even sent over a list of questions concerning Facebook’s data practices.
They’re looking to host Zuckerberg by May 24th and have said that if he doesn’t respond positively to the request, the committee might try to resolve the matter by issuing a formal summons for him to appear before it whenever he’s in the United Kingdom. The summons would then compel Zuckerberg to appear before the committee when he next sets foot on British soil.
Facebook has said that its CEO has “no plans” to visit the United Kingdom in order to testify before the parliamentary committee. With their threat of a summons not yielding the desired results, the members have even extended the video link option to Zuckerberg. Nevertheless, they intend to keep the threat of a summons open in order to persuade Zuckerberg to appear and testify.

It has been a rough few weeks for Chinese smartphone company ZTE. The United States Department of Commerce recently banned ZTE from sourcing components from U.S-based companies for seven years. What that means for this Android smartphone manufacturer is that it can no longer buy processors from Qualcomm and might even lose its Android license. ZTE has since ceased core business operations but President Trump recently said that he’s working with President Xi of China to get ZTE back into business. His plan to do that has been rejected by lawmakers in the United States.
The ban was placed on ZTE after it was found to have violated an earlier settlement in a sanctions violation case that it lost two years ago. For a company that makes Android smartphones powered by Qualcomm chips, this ban meant that it was effectively the end of the road for ZTE.
President Trump tweeted over the weekend that he’s working with President Xi to give ZTE a way to get back into business, adding that the Department of Commerce had been instructed to make this happen.
Lawmakers in the U.S. today rejected any plan by the president to ease restrictions on ZTE as they called the company a security threat and vowed to not give up on legislation that further clamps down on ZTE.
Some members of Congress have expressed their reservations at the plans as well particularly because they have continuously been pushing for more restrictions on the Chinese company. Just how soon the talks between the U.S. and China will result in a way out for ZTE remains to be seen.
