Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg testified on antitrust issues
Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg testified before the Federal Trade Commission earlier this week as part of an investigative hearing into antitrust concerns surrounding the social network, a representative for the company said Thursday.
The testimony, which was conducted remotely and took place over two days, came as Facebook, Google, Amazon and Apple have faced scrutiny in Washington over how they use their market power.
In last month's House Judiciary hearing, Zuckerberg defended his company's practices and instead sought to direct the lawmakers' scrutiny onto other tech firms.
While it is customary for top executives to be interviewed in federal investigations, the FTC's decision to question Zuckerberg is particularly notable because it had neglected to interview him in a previous investigation surrounding the Cambridge Analytica scandal.
