Facebook Inc’s Mark Zuckerberg, breaking a media silence on the latest consumer imbroglio to engulf the social media company, vowed to inform each of his two billion-plus users if there’s a chance their personal data was compromised. 

In an interview with CNN, the billionaire chief executive officer said he would appear before Congress if necessary, to testify on revelations that a researcher harvested data on 50 million and sold it on surreptitiously to a political consultancy company. That bombshell has since wiped US$45bil (RM175.96bil) off Facebook’s value, drawn regulatory scrutiny on two continents and ignited a #deletefacebook campaign.
