| Subject: Cool: Zuckerberg and Sandberg ignore Canadian subpoena, face possible contempt vote Tue May 28, 2019 7:36 pm | |
| Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg did not attend a hearing in Ottawa on Tuesday, despite receiving summonses from the Canadian parliament. The decision could result in the executives being held in contempt of parliament, the senior Canadian politician who sent the summons told CNN. The last time a member of the public was held in contempt by the parliament was 1913, according to the legislature's records. Facebook instead sent two representatives from its public policy team to the hearing, which was tied to a gathering of an international committee examining Silicon Valley's impact on privacy and democracy. Multiple lawmakers pointed out that Zuckerberg's failure to show up contradicted what he wrote in an op-ed in March when he wrote he was "looking forward to discussing them [online issues] with lawmakers around the world." Bob Zimmer MP, the chair of the committee, slammed the executives for not attending. "Shame on Mark Zuckerberg and shame on Sheryl Sandberg for not showing up today," he said toward the end of the meeting.
