British lawmaker on Tuesday called on Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg to appear before parliament to respond to reports that Cambridge Analytica, the data firm used by the Trump campaign, harvested data from millions of people without their permission.

Damian Collins, chairman of parliament's Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee, wrote to Zuckerberg that it's time for a Facebook executive to address concerns over users' data security, The Independent reported.

"Given your commitment at the start of the New Year to 'fixing' Facebook, I hope that this representative will be you," he wrote.

Meanwhile, the British Information Commission is planning to conduct an on-site investigation of Cambridge Analytica's offices following a report that showed the company's CEO speaking on a recording that his firm used bribes and sex workers to entrap politicians.

1. So would the US Congress!

Last time that he was supposed to go to testify to the committee Facebook and Twitter sent Reps. Google's CEO actually went in person. Fuckerberg's rep lied and violated the 2011 law about the upholding Customer Privacy (Bill of Rights). They want to know how he supposedly followed this rule (proof) and what he is going to do to prevent this type of action from occurring again. If he did violate it than this is the country's largest privacy compromise of a presidential election. Also, they (and Mueller) are interested about how some people were involved tied to the campaign and Russia and CA (Flynn, Bannon, Kelleyanne, Ted Cruz, the Mercers, Lewindowski, Jared, Assange, etc).
