<p>Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg is in Washington to meet senators, as the social media giant faces rising scrutiny over its privacy practices.</p> <p>Zuckerberg is slated to meet policymakers and “talk about future internet regulation,” Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-09-18/facebook-ceo-mark-zuckerberg-visits-washington-amid-scrutiny">reported</a> Thursday, citing a statement from Facebook spokesman Andy Stone. The CEO will meet with Senator Maria Cantwell of Washington State and House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff of California, according to Bloomberg sources.</p> <p>Zuckerberg has already met Senator Mark Warner, a Virginia Democrat, and other senators on Wednesday night, per the report. Warner had helped organize the dinner “at Facebook’s request.”</p> <p>It is not clear whether Zuckerberg will discuss the Facebook-led cryptocurrency project <a href="https://www.theblockcrypto.com/tag/facebook-libra">Libra</a> with senators. In July, when David Marcus, co-creator of Libra and head of Calibra (a Facebook company), met with lawmakers, Representative Brad Sherman of California <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2019/jul/17/facebook-libra-cryptocurrency-congress">questioned</a> why Marcus appeared in Congress in place of Zuckerberg, given the potential magnitude of the Libra project.<br /> <br /> Notably, it is Zuckerberg’s first trip to Washington since April 2018, when he met lawmakers on the Cambridge Analytica data scandal.</p>
