Several Russian lawmakers called upon Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg to give testimony over privacy and media regulation concerns.

Zuckerberg gave testimony before U.S. Congress last month and appeared before European Parliament leaders last week to respond to questions about Russian interference in the U.S. election as well as customer privacy. The founder of the world’s largest social media network has been the target of criticism from Russian senators who have accused him of making “Russophobic” statements about alleged “troll factories” meddling in international affairs. Russian Federal leaders continued to demand that the company comply with local laws that would put Russian users' private data on their own domestic servers.
