Last November, a global committee of lawmakers from nine countries the UK, Canada, Ireland, Brazil, Argentina, Singapore, Belgium, France and Latvia summoned Mark Zuckerberg to what they called an “international grand committee” in London. Mr Zuckerberg was too spooked to show up, but Ashkan Soltani, former chief technology officer of the Federal Trade Commission, was among those who testified against Facebook.
