Definitely. Especially after the whole Facebook getting to CAs office(s) before authorities thing.

The right to summon the local corporate representative, legal team, etc.? Sure.

Does every country have the "right" to summon a multinational CEO? That'd get crazy really quick, and I doubt it'd benefit anybody (beyond politicians.)

I had the same reaction as the parent comment - to "request" his presence is perfectly fine, but a "summons" would be a bit much...

If you've compromised the details of millions of citizens, then summoning the CEO doesn't seem inappropriate.

CEO, in this case, a celebrity, can walk away, free of consequences, in face of a political disaster? This attitude is pretty problematic

The letter just asks for someone important enough to be able to give us the answers we need, preferably Zuck. I think summon is hyperbolic.

It is a request. There's no sanction associated with not turning up, but that means Facebook doesn't get a say in what the legislative response to this is. For example, maybe a ban on political advertising on Facebook.

Not as of now. Though until very recently, you also needed to have at least some personnel physically present in a location if you wanted to conduct business there.

As that changed, thanks to the internet, those rules might need to change as well.

What is so problematic about being able to summon the CEO of a business that operates in your country? You say it would get crazy but I don’t see how.
