The Senate Judiciary and Commerce Committees are about to begin hearing testimony from Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg on user data privacy.

Zuckerberg is expected to emphasize Facebook’s intention to rollout policies that will protect its users privacy. The changes would bring Facebook into alignment with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation which goes into effect next month. Facebook previously announced that it would apply the GDPR globally.
