Mark Zuckerberg apologizes after Facebook’s data breach storm

Breaking five days of silence, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg apologized for a “major breach of trust,” admitted mistakes and outlined steps to protect user data in light of a privacy scandal involving a Trump-connected data-mining firm.

“I am really sorry that happened,” Zuckerberg said of the scandal involving data mining firm Cambridge Analytica. Facebook has a “responsibility” to protect its users' data, he said in a Wednesday interview on CNN. If it fails, he said, “we don't deserve to have the opportunity to serve people.”
