Facebook misses Brit MPs' deadline, promises answers on Monday
Facebook has told MPs on the the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) Committee that it will have to finish the homework it's been set over the weekend. At the start of the month, the increasingly bolshy digital committee issued Facebook with a list of 39 questions (PDF) it said CTO Mike Schroepfer had failed to answer in …

Re: I wonder ...
If he was on UK soil and refused to play ball the cops would probably call him then collar him, lead him to the House, make him sit and bark out his answers ... at which point he'd probably ignore everyone anyway and openly lick his bits to embarrass the participants.
After that kerfuffle the MPs wouldn't risk issuing a summons to the dog as well ...

Re: I wonder ...
if it is possible to have a European Arrest Warrant issued to his name and drag his sorry derriere to UK face the parliament?
I'm not sure that a parliamentary summons can be cause for issuing a European Arrest Warrant because it is (supposedly) for criminal suspects or convicts. But Zuk doesn't need any more time for his flunkies to scribble out answers - he's just commanded that the response is late to make a point. If the committee had any balls (sadly, I accept they don't) then they'd issue the summons anyway, and that'd mean the greasy little short arse would have to either turn up, or avoid the UK, including interconnecting flights forever, which would be surprisingly inconvenient for a member of the global rich club.
And since he's made a point of not complying with the deadline, parliamentary officials should arrange him a special chair, with two inches cut off the legs and an even thicker booster cushion than the one he needed when he was not answering questions to the US Congress.

Toast of Tardiness
Love the article picture, though. The classic meme that TV Tropes calls the "Toast of Tardiness". Although properly it should be a cute anime high school girl (like Yui Hirasawa for example).

Re: Toast of Tardiness
Damn you to Hell! You got me lost deep into TV Tropes. It took all my willpower to escape. There's probably a TV trope about that - why don't you go and check? }:)
Don't know about on the TVTropes site itself, but there *IS* an XKCD cartoon

They need to be asking FB the RIGHT questions...
They need to ask Facebook (and the participating AV companies) about forcing users to submit to an "antivirus scan" because their "computers showed signs of infection" when in reality it had NOTHING to do with the users computer whatsoever and was directly related to the users profile only:

And they should also ask questions as to what data the almighty hidden Facebook Pixel could slurp from users/non-users and/or the data they input:
