Canada Issues Summons for Zuckerberg – Explaining the Wix SEO Challenge
Air Date: May 30, 2019
Though CEO Mark Zuckerberg himself appeared before a congressional committee looking into the role Facebook played in the 2016 US election, Facebook has declined to appear at an interparliamentary committee made up of representatives from the UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and other parliamentary governments, which held its most recent meeting in Ottawa, Canada. When the corporation did not appear at a interparliamentary committee hearing held in Ottawa, Canada’s parliament took the rare step of issuing a judicial summons in Zuckerberg’s and COO Sheryl Sandberg’s names. The summons requires both to appear before Parliament for questioning should the ever enter Canada in the future.
Also, Craig Newmark, founder of Craigslist has donated 2.25million to the Trust Project, a consortium of news gathering organizations dedicated to fact-checking news items.
Wix, the much maligned website builder platform, has gotten tired of hearing SEOs kick it around. It’s putting its money where its mouth is and sponsoring a SEO challenge pitting a pro-Wix SEO team against an anti-Wix team. There’s a good deal of prize money and prestige up for grabs.
