London (CNN Business)A British lawmaker who has led investigations into disinformation on the internet was annoyed that Mark Zuckerberg turned down his invitation to appear before parliament this week. He probably has Zuckerberg’s attention now.
The Facebook CEO may soon be heard in parliament anyway, and in a way Facebook would rather avoid: Internal company documents Facebook has fought hard to keep private could be made public there.
Damian Collins, who chairs the UK parliamentary committee investigating disinformation and the use of people’s data, obtained the documents, which could include correspondence between Facebook executives, including Zuckerberg.
