Mark Zuckerberg to meet with lawmakers in D.C. on Thursday

Facebook Inc. Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg is going to Washington on Thursday -- his first visit to Capitol Hill since he testified before Congress last year. "Mark will be in Washington, D.C., to meet with policymakers and talk about future internet regulation. There are no public events planned," Facebook spokesman Andy Stone told MarketWatch. The visit, first reported by Axios, comes a week after the House Judiciary Committee asked the CEOs of Facebook , Alphabet Inc.'s Google , Amazon.com Inc. , and Apple Inc. to fork over email and other documents as part of an ongoing federal government investigation into their business practices and considerable marketing sway.
