Facebook Inc chief executive officer Mark Zuckerberg has been asked – again – to appear before British lawmakers, or risk a formal summons. If he refuses that, Parliament could demand Zuckerberg spend the night in the clock tower.
The penalties for holding Parliament in contempt vary. Technically – though very unlikely – the House of Commons could call Zuckerberg to appear before them and berate him for his behaviour. Zuckerberg may be issued with a fine, although this penalty hasn’t been used since 1666. As a last resort, lawmakers could threaten to send him to the clock tower of the Palace of Westminster – more commonly known as Big Ben – a resort not used since 1880.
