Congress on Friday formally asked Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg to testify about what happened with the Cambridge Analytica data scandal — and what Facebook is doing to protect user data and privacy.

In a letter from the House Committee on Energy and Commerce sent on Friday — which handles consumer protection, data security and internet issues — committee members discussed their plans to hold a hearing "in the near future" on how the personal information of more than 50 million Facebook users was shared with Cambridge Analytica without their explicit consent. It is also looking into Facebook's policies to protect user data, especially when it comes to what app developers are allowed access to.
