The European Parliament has called for Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg to explain details of the Facebook and Cambridge Analytics scandal.
European Parliament President Anthony Tajiani said Facebook's chief executive Mark Zuckerberg will appear in the European Parliament next week. Initially, Mark Zuckerberg did not appear in person, but he wanted to send Joel Kaplan, Assistant Director of his Public Relations Department to the European Parliament, even though Mark Zuckerberg would present himself in the face of the president's demand.
European Parliament President Anthony Tajiani said that this parliament represents more than 50 million people and takes a crucial role in the development of the world economy and making important decisions. About 81 million people have been affected by the Facebook Cambridge Analytics scandal, of which nearly 3 million are European Union countries.
Member of the European Parliament Manfred Vobre said, earlier Mark Zuckerberg had promised that his organization would look into the matter of smuggling information, but this was a scandal in the data.
Manfred Vieber said, "Many European politicians asked to close Facebook. We will speak directly with Mark Zuckerberg on this matter, except that there are more consumers of Facebook than in the United States of America.
President of the European Parliament Anthony Tajiani recently said, "According to the new EU data protection law, consumers will have to ensure 100 percent data protection and expect a clear reply to Mark Zuckerberg on this assurance."
Two weeks ago the European Commission's Judge, Vera Zarova, responsible for consumer and gender equality, threatened to take action against them forcibly if the social networks did not correct their business conditions.
In addition, Facebook has accused Facebook and Twitter of social media Facebook and Twitter against the change of terms and conditions, without the need to delete the information from the users of Facebook and consumers, and the European Commission. They said that the issues are not consistent with the European Union-led consumer protection law.
