Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg not appearing in front of the British MPs seeking the explanation about the misuse of information by millions of Facebook subscribers He is sending Facebook Chief Product Officer Chris Cox. Cox will appear before the British parliamentary committee in the first week after Easter break. The Facebook chief's decision is "surprising" and urges Zuckerberg to review it, said Demon Collins, Chairman of Department of Culture Media and Sports Select Committee of the United Kingdom Parliament. In 2016, discussions are going on around the world after the disclosure of five million Facebook subscribers' personal information to determine the strategy of Donald Trump in the US presidential election. Facebook has a British political consultancy company Cambridge Analytica in the center of the debate. Cambridge Approach, an information analyst working on Trump's behalf in the election. After publishing this scandal, Facebook has already apologized for 'violating the confidence' of Facebook customers. He also apologized for publishing advertisements on various weekly newspapers in the two countries of the United States and the UK on Sunday. Zuckerberg said that through Cambridge analytics, they could take more steps to prevent leaks from millions of users. "It was a breach of faith. I am sorry for that. "British Parliamentary inquiry committee is now hearing the statement of Christopher Willie, the former employee of Cambridge Analyst. He said that British consultant organization in 2014 will have access to five million Facebook subscribers through a person's quiz. Wiley says that, on the quiz run by an app created by a researcher at the University of Cambridge, two thousand 70 thousand Facebook subscribers took part. And five million Facebook account holders of their friend was captured by the app through the app. Most of these Facebook customers were US residents Willi's claim, that information was sold to Cambridge Analyktica.

Then Facebook users have been classified according to their mentality, and they have provided the means to determine the strategy for the election campaign of trumps. Former executive Cambridge analyst deputy chief executive Alexander Nix has been the owner of many resources without any 'background' in political or technology sectors, said Willie. On hearing the MPs are told that once they were buying Nix's "two lakh pounds of chaos", they were delayed at one event. Willie said that Nix had "lied" in February last, refusing to use Facebook information in a hearing to the committee. "This company is based on the control of Facebook data and Alexander Kogan's data-set." Cambridge University has spent at least $ 100 million in the collection of personal data collected by the University of Cambridge researcher Alexander Cogan, by handing information to the subscribers through the Personality Test. Willie said she did. Steve Banan, former chief strategist of President Donald Trump, was one of the directors of Cambridge Analyst. He was more interested in making a speech at the university than sitting in a luxurious office. Because of this, Nix had launched a fake office in Cambridge for him. He said, then Banan called Cambridge Analyst as a consultant in the promotion of Trump. "He (Benson) thought it was a very academic company." Facebook has already been suspended from Cambridge Analytics for the information scandal that has been dismissed by the Facebook subscribers. The British Parliamentary Committee summoned him. Chairman of Committee on Zuckerberg said Demon Collins, Facebook Chief Product Officer Chris Cox directly reports to Zuckerberg. He will submit the information in the first week after the Easter break. However, they are still expecting Zuckerberg to appear.
