Facebook has been the target of criticism about its use of individual consumer's data for election purposes without permission. Zuckerberg agreed to testify before Congress on the matter. Lawmakers, many of whom have expressed dissent toward Facebook's practices, are looking to crack down on the social media site. Facebook's biggest challenge will be to restore public trust.
