(10 Apr 2018) Illinois Senator Dick Durbin asked Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg to disclose to the committee the hotel room he stayed in last night.
"Mr. Zuckerberg, would you be comfortable sharing with us the name of the hotel you stayed in last night?" Durbin asked.
"Um... no," Zuckerberg said after pausing, then smiling as the room laughed.
Durbin used the question to launch into his five-minute round of questioning of Facebook's CEO before a joint commerce and judiciary committee hearing, and to make a point about privacy.
"If you've messaged anybody this week, would you share with us the names of the people you've messaged?" Durbin continued.
"Senator, no I would probably not choose to do that publicly here," Zuckerberg replied.
"I think that maybe is what this is all about," Durbin said. "Your right to privacy. The limits of your right to privacy and how much you give away in modern America in the name of quote, 'connecting people around the world.'"
Durbin was among many senators who grilled Zuckerberg on what the social network collected on its users and how it informed them or obtained its consent, following revelations that Donald Trump-affiliated data mining firm Cambridge Analytica scooped data on millions of Americans without their knowledge.
