Senate has more questions for Apple, Google, Facebook on privacy

Apple and Google are headed back to Washington—D.C., that is—for another hearing on mobile privacy. The two companies will be joined by Facebook this time in order to testify in front of the US Senate Subcommittee on Consumer Protection, Product Safety, and Insurance on "Consumer Privacy and Protection in the Mobile Marketplace." The hearing will take place on Thursday, May 19 at 10am Eastern Time.

Apple will be sending Catherine A.

Facebook's Chief Technology Officer Bret Taylor will be joining the group as well, along with David Vladeck from the Federal Trade Commission, Morgan Reed from the Association for Competitive Technology, and COO of Common Sense Media Amy Guggenheim Shenkan. Senator John D. Rockefeller (D-WV) will chair the hearing.
