Congress has questions for Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg
Read Time:42 Second
Congress is getting involved in the latest Facebook privacy snafu. Following Monday’s revelation that many popular Facebook apps are transmitting identifying information to dozens of companies, two House members are asking the social networking site for more information about how applications handle user details. Facebook has until Oct. 27 to respond, the Wall Street Journal reports.
The two reps sent Mark Zuckerberg a letter expressing their feeling that “this series of breaches of consumer privacy is a cause for concern.” They want to know how many users were affected, when Facebook learned of the problem, and what changes the site will make. A Facebook rep says, “The suggestion that the passing of a user ID to an application, as described in Facebook’s privacy policy, constitutes a ‘breach’ is curious at best,” but says they are happy to address “any confusion.”

Billionaires have problems we can only imagine, paying the mortgage ain’t one of them.
Since the movie I doubt they will ever leave this guy alone.
