Facebook to brief U.S. lawmakers' aides on Wednesday: congressional staff
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Facebook Inc will brief U.S. Senate and House aides on Wednesday, congressional staff said on Tuesday amid growing pressure on the social media company to answer questions over the use of its users' data.
A House Energy and Commerce Committee spokeswoman confirmed the briefing would take place as did a Senate aide. The briefing comes amid some calls from lawmakers for Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg to appear before Congress.
