Earlier,the facebook CEO defended himself against criticism from Apple’s Tim Cook.

Mark Zuckerberg said that Cook’s suggestion that his company did not care about users was “extremely glib.”

Cook criticised Facebook last week in the aftermath of the Cambridge Analytica scandal, saying it was an “invasion of privacy” to traffic the personal data of users.

When asked what he would do if he were Zuckerberg, Cook said he “wouldn’t be in that situation.”
