Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg will not attend a hearing in Ottawa later this week, despite receiving summonses from the Canadian parliament, Facebook confirmed

The decision could result in the executives being held in contempt of parliament, the senior Canadian politician who sent the summons told CNN.Both executives received formal requests from the Canadian Parliament earlier this month tied to a gathering of an international committee examining Silicon Valley's impact on privacy and democracy. Zuckerberg and Sandberg have testified before the United States Congress on the subject.

He said the company had submitted alternate names of people to attend in their place, but that he wants to hear directly from the social network's top two executives. Their presence is important, he said, because,"Knowing the structure of Facebook and how it is micro-managed right from the top, any change on the platform is done through Mr. Zuckerberg or through Ms. Sandberg.

I said it last night and I’ll say it again...if you’ve got enough money, you’re absolutely above the law in matters such as these. You can buy your way out of almost anything these days.

Soulless eyes

Damn rich people really out here showing us the law is different for them whilst telling us the system is fair and balanced and you just have to work hard.

Taking after the turd whom they helped get elected.

BOTS, how the US government and NATO censor the Internet

Burgers at the Whitehouse!

Issue arrest warrants and see if the US will abide by the very laws Canada felt compelled to implement on the Chinese lady

How awesome would it be if they both wind up in Canadian jail? Yes, please.

because they don't give a flying fig newton about Canadar which compared what they doing in USA, is a small fry cheetos

Apparently Zuckerberg & Sandberg came to an existential decision and they're gonna break the law because FTW the whole plantation White House is doing it.

Oh know what will the sanctimonious liberal fakes say about this? Their must be looking at darling now as the same as the Attorney General.

Mark Zuckerberg is the realDonaldTrump of Silicon Valley.

Getting a summons from the Canadian parliament is like getting a fine in the mail for overdue video rentals 👍

It's all about them moneys now a days!

Time to delete fb and kill it just like My Space

Time to take away the toxic Facebook

Facebook blocked because I posted some statistics from WW2 without any comments. For Facebook statistics is hate speech.

Is he Canadian or something...I’m confused

Arrest the Prick ! Enough , is Enough .

Rich and privileged. They believe rules, laws and regulations only apply to the masses.

The Zuckerturd is a creep, but Sandberg is even creepier. Has anyone ever done any research on her purchases of antifreeze in early 2015?

Look this 1's tiny like a child !! ManUpMark YQG

lock them up

Does that mean that if they visit Canada they'll be immediately arrested? I'd pay to see that.

Apparently subpoenas are now optional.

Turn them off north of the border.

What the hell is going on in this world nobody pays attention to the law of the rich anymore they just do whatever the hell they want this is ridiculous
