He apologized for this and said that he was ready to give testimony before the Congress. In the US, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has already confirmed that it is investigating the issue of information from Facebook.
FTC said on Monday that it took seriously the recent report of the media that expressed concerns about Facebook's privacy policies.

Apple chief Tim Cook and IBM chairman Gini Rometety have also made changes in policies to protect consumers' information.
