Culture secretary to meet Mark Zuckerberg in US after snub to MPs
Jeremy Wright visits Facebook HQ following founder’s refusal to face Commons committee
The culture secretary has flown to meet Mark Zuckerberg in California, despite the Facebook boss refusing to come to the UK to answer questions from a parliamentary committee.
Jeremy Wright is due to meet the social network’s founder at Facebook’s global headquarters on the outskirts of San Francisco, as the government prepares to unveil its proposals for regulating internet companies. These could place a legal duty on tech companies to deal with problems ranging from online grooming to targeted harassment campaigns.
