demand , for model , who at Facebook at last made the decisiveness not to inform users that their information had been illegitimately acquired by the political consultancy Cambridge Analytica , Facebook pass up to say .
“ It is disappointing , ” the committee ’s chairman , Damian Collins , say , “ that a caller with the imagination of Facebook choose not to provide a sufficient storey of detail and transparency on various points … ”
Collins pointed to Facebook ’s responses on questions related to Cambridge Analytica , so - called dark-skinned advertizement , and the amount of money drop by Russia on U.K. ads , as example of arena where Facebook lacked specificity .

Facebook react that it could not answer the question .

Facebook said it would “ continue to get together full with the relevant governor ” ; however , it is the regulator themselves who say Facebook is not giving the U.K. its full cooperation .
“ If Mark Zuckerberg truly recognises the ‘ seriousness ’ of these issues as they say they do , we would expect that he would want to appear in front of the Committee and answer interrogative sentence that are of concern not only to Parliament , but Facebook ’s ten-spot of 1000000 of drug user in this country , ” Collins say .
