The House Committee on Energy and Commerce released Mark Zuckerberg’s upcoming testimony on Monday, ahead of a Wednesday hearing to discuss the use of Facebook user data during the 2016 election cycle.

The prepared testimony largely rehashes Zuckerberg’s ongoing apology tour, which has consisted of a series of media appearances and blog posts about how Cambridge Analytica and Russian disinformation campaigns were able to leverage his platform to manipulate the 2016 election. One thing Zuckerberg does not take responsibility for, however, is swallowing the internet with his platforms, and using the power, influence, and deep pockets of Facebook to gobble up companies that threaten his social media monopoly.
