The meeting — one of several held by the company’s founder in his first visit to Capitol Hill since he faced Congress in tense hearings about the Cambridge Analytica scandal last year — was “constructive”, according to a Facebook spokesperson. It came at the end of a hectic day of meetings with senior politicians on Capitol Hill, where Mr Zuckerberg was asked by at least one senator — the Republican Josh Hawley — if he would consider selling WhatsApp, the messaging platform, and photo-sharing app Instagram to meet the concerns of some who believe the company has grown too large and powerful. Mr Zuckerberg reportedly resisted the request.
