Rep. Chris Stewart wants to talk to Zuckerberg
Rep. Chris Stewart, R-Utah, said on Thursday that he would like to see more federal oversight and regulation over Facebook, according to the Deseret News.
Facebook has been embroiled in controversy this week after more than 50 million Facebook users saw their data wind up in the hands of Cambridge Analytica, a data firm that has links to President Donald Trump’s election campaign.
Stewart, who works on the House Intelligence Committee, said Facebook has sent attorneys and staff members to speak with Congress.
However, he wants Zuckerberg to make an appearance.
"I've been a little disappointed in who's been sent previously to represent various social media companies," Stewart said. "My position is that, for credibility, having the face of the company there answering questions is most appropriate. Obviously, Mark Zuckerberg is the person most closely identified with Facebook."
Utah Jazz bounce back with Dallas win
The Utah Jazz rolled through Dallas with a 119-112 victory on Thursday night, bouncing back from a loss two days earlier to the Atlanta Hawks, according to the Deseret News.
The Jazz will now head to San Antonio for the second game in a back-to-back set of games in Texas.
"We've just got to get ready tomorrow, be sharp," Jazz center Rudy Gobert said. "We know it's going to be a battle. We've got to go out there and get a win."

The march will follow the largest-ever protest in U.S. history that took place on March 14 after a mass school shooting in Parkland, Florida, where 17 people were killed.
“The teenagers who are front and center in these protests have already proved they are able to attract media attention and make their voices heard. But will they be successful in creating lasting change?” Deseret News reporter Erica Evans writes.
