Zuckerberg escapes Senate after dodging questions on regulating Facebook

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg bobbed, weaved, and dodged several questions at Tuesday’s Senate hearing about whether his company should face new laws or regulations and, in the end, escaped without hearing any senator promise imminent action.

Zuckerberg appeared amid worries that his company failed to protect the personal data of 87 million people, conservative complaints that Facebook is censoring right-leaning press, and liberal complaints that he was too slow to stop Russia from using Facebook to sway the 2016 election. But when pressed on whether Washington should have a say in how his company operates, Zuckerberg gave the senators the slip.
