Cambridge Analytica whistleblower Christopher Wylie said Facebook Inc chief executive officer Mark Zuckerberg engaged in “a spectacle of non-answers” in testimony before US and European lawmakers that would increase the chances the social network will face regulation and further harm the trust of its users. 

Speaking at the Bloomberg Sooner Than You Think technology conference in Paris, Wylie expressed dismay that Zuckerberg has rebuffed invitations to appear before the UK parliament committee investigating Cambridge Analytica’s misuse of Facebook user data, and the role the consulting firm may have played in Britain’s 2016 EU referendum.
