“We didn’t take a broad enough view of our responsibility, and that was a big mistake,” his testimony continued. “It was my mistake, and I’m sorry. I started Facebook, I run it, and I’m responsible for what happens here.”
He also said that Facebook’s major investments in security “will significantly impact our profitability going forward.” Zuckerberg is meeting with U.S. lawmakers Monday ahead of two days of congressional testimony starting on Tuesday.
Facebook shares were up 1.7 percent in midday trading.
