Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg

Mark Zuckerberg left his notes open during a break in Monday's Senate hearing. According, to an Associated Press report, the snapshots of his notes indicate that the Facebook CEO expected senators to ask if would resign in the face of the Cambridge Analytica Data breach that led to severe privacy violations of 87 million users on the social networking site.

His notes also said that Apple didn't notify users of ''several apps misusing users' data''.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Tuesday testified before the Congress and during his five-hour testimony, the lawmakers asked him some tough questions on fake news, Russian interference during the 2016 presidential election and censorship of conservative media. He also formally apologised to the Congress for mistakes that led to the Cambridge Analytica scandal and emphasised that his company was rethinking its responsibility to users and society.

This is the first time that the Facebook CEO is testifying before the Congress.
