WASHINGTON - Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg will testify before the US House Financial Services Committee on Oct 23 as the social media company faces growing scrutiny from US lawmakers over a planned cryptocurrency and other issues including advertising policies.

It will be his first appearance before a US congressional committee since April 2018 although last month he was on Capitol Hill to meet privately with some lawmakers. Also, the federal government charged Facebook in March with violating fair lending laws, saying the company sold targeted advertising that was racially discriminatory.

The project also faces significant skepticism from global regulators wary of what a digital currency with a potentially massive scale could mean for the financial system.
