Zuckerberg, in Washington to Talk Cryptocurrency, Gets Grilled on Everything

Source: New York Times

WASHINGTON — Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s chief executive, returned to the hot seat on Wednesday to defend a cryptocurrency project that has become the latest target of criticism from lawmakers frustrated with the social media giant.

He ended up defending Facebook on a range of issues, from political advertising to housing discrimination and child pornography.

In a hearing before the House Financial Services Committee, Mr. Zuckerberg presented a rosy view of how the cryptocurrency would provide a safe way for billions of people around the world without bank accounts to exchange money affordably.

And in a response to an outcry from financial regulators, he said Facebook would not offer Libra, its cryptocurrency initiative, anywhere in the world “unless all U.S. regulators approve it.”
