We Still trying to prevent misuse: Facebook's Zuckerberg

-
BRUSSELS: Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg apologised to EU lawmakers on Tuesday and said the company had not done enough to prevent misuse of the social network. Meeting the leaders of the European Parliament, Zuckerberg stressed the importance of Europeans to Facebook and said he was sorry for not doing enough to prevent abuse of the platform.

Facebook has been embroiled in a data scandal after it emerged that the personal data of 87 million users were improperly accessed by a political consultancy.

The chief creative officer went on a six-month sabbatical starting last November after being accused of sexual misconduct and unwanted physical contact.
