Mark Zuckerberg faces UK subpoena threat

Published



A conservative member of the British Parliament warned Facebook on Tuesday that CEO Mark Zuckerberg will be subpoenaed if he refuses a formal summons to testify.

“It is worth noting that, while Mr. Zuckerberg does not normally come under the jurisdiction of the UK Parliament, he will the next time he enters the country,” Damian Collins wrote in his letter to Rebecca Stimson, head of public policy for the company in the U.K. “We hope that he will respond positively to our request, but if not the Committee will resolve to issue a formal summons for him to appear when he is next in the UK.”
