Facebook increases lobbying presence on Capitol Hill before Zuckerberg testimony
2018-03-29
[Guardian] Facebook is increasing its lobbying presence in Washington DC before Mark Zuckerberg’s expected testimony on Capitol Hill.

The company has listed 12 policy-related job openings based in Washington DC as it faces increased scrutiny over its privacy policies after it was reported that Cambridge Analytica had obtained data from up to 50 million Facebook users.

The revelation sparked new concern about the amount of information that the company had collected from its users and with whom it was shared.

The job listings include a Washington DC-based public policy manager "to work with both the legislative branch and third-party groups as a clear line of communication, helping to advocate on behalf of the company’s mission and goals" as well as a politics and government manager to "work with candidates, elected officials, and others in the US political system to use our platform and civic engagement tools to connect in meaningful and innovative ways".
