Mike Allen: “Mark Zuckerberg survived questions about Russia’s election-meddling largely unscathed. But the New York Times‘ that Facebook knowingly granted four Chinese electronics companies (including Huawei, which U.S. intelligence officials see as a potential national security threat) access to Americans’ data — and didn’t bother to tell Congress about it — has Washington fuming again.”

“Federal agencies are so far unable to comply with a law banning Kaspersky Lab software from U.S. government networks by October,” the Daily Beast reports.

“Multiple divisions of the U.S. government are confronting the reality that code written by the Moscow-based security company is embedded deep within American infrastructure, in routers, firewalls, and other hardware—and nobody is certain how to get rid of it.”

Gizmodo: “Google’s unofficial motto has long been the simple phrase ‘don’t be evil.’ But that’s over, according to the code of conduct that Google distributes to its employees. The phrase was removed sometime in late April or early May, archives hosted by the Wayback Machine show.”

Brian X. Chen: “When I downloaded a copy of my Facebook data last week, I didn’t expect to see much. My profile is sparse, I rarely post anything on the site, and I seldom click on ads. (I’m what some call a Facebook ‘lurker.’)”

“But when I opened my file, it was like opening Pandora’s box.”

“With a few clicks, I learned that about 500 advertisers — many that I had never heard of, like Bad Dad, a motorcycle parts store, and Space Jesus, an electronica band — had my contact information, which could include my email address, phone number and full name. Facebook also had my entire phone book, including the number to ring my apartment buzzer. The social network had even kept a permanent record of the roughly 100 people I had deleted from my friends list over the last 14 years, including my exes.”

“A composed and contrite Mark Zuckerberg held up under hours of grilling by more than 40 senators Tuesday — but his performance did little to mask Facebook’s growing political problems in Washington,” Politico reports.

The Information: “Senators didn’t inspire confidence that they would be able to regulate the internet economy in a meaningful way. Lawmakers sometimes stumbled through technical descriptions, both of complicated advertising systems and some more basic distinctions like understanding how WhatsApp works.”

While not definitively saying yes, Mark Zuckerberg told Recode that he’s “open” to testifying before members of Congress regarding Facebook’s recent privacy scandal involving Cambridge Analytica.

Said Zuckerberg: “We let the community down and I feel really bad and I’m sorry about that.”
