Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who has been in the eye of the storm ever since revelations of the company flouted data privacy rules, gave a testimony before a United States Congressional Committee on April 10.

As he answered questions pertaining to how Facebook revealed the personal data of about 87 million users to Cambridge Analytica to influence voters to influence the US Presidential elections, Zuckerberg was also at the receiving end of the meme-fest that was simultaneously unfurling, ironically, on the Internet itself.

From how the man of short stature used a booster seat while addressing the questions to hilariously changing the closed captions of Zuckerberg and senator Chuck Grassley, meme makers seem to have had gone to town, reports the India Express.

Others even took jibes on how the Facebook CEO looked anything but human, at times.

While he testified in the Senate on April 10 (Tuesday), another hearing will be held in the House on the day after. 

The co-founder of Facebook, Zuckerberg apologised and said “it was my mistake” that the company did not do enough to ensure its tools are not being used for harm, especially in terms of fake news, hate speech, data privacy, foreign interference in elections, etc. 

Zuckerberg’s public apology for his company’s misgivings in failing to ensure the users’ safety and privacy comes at the heel of Facebook being in a soup of bad publicity.

The controversy had also resulted in the stock value plummeting, but after Zuckerberg apologised, the Facebook shares saw its biggest rise in two years — 4.5 per cent for the day.
