Zuckerberg is also scheduled to be in Washington next week to testify Oct. 23 in a House hearing on Facebook's Libra cryptocurrency and wallet.

Daily Briefing airs from 2-3 p.m. on Fox News Channel.

Facebook has taken a beating inside the Beltway over how it treats data and user info, including drawing a multi-billion fine from the Federal Trade Commission.

Zuckerberg has come out in favor of regulating social media data use and collection.
