Mark Zuckerberg did not want to look small when faced with a grilling from US politicians regarding data sharing on Facebook .
The 5'7" CEO took a leaf out of Simon Cowell's book and brought his own booster seat to appear taller as he was quizzed by the Senate Judiciary and Commerce Committees.
At the hearing Zuckerberg pledged that Facebook will investigate "tens of thousands" of apps to discover if any other companies have accessed data in a similar way to Cambridge Analytica (CA).
The social network says it is in the process of letting up to 87 million users know that their information may have been accessed by CA, and in a packed room on Capitol Hill, Zuckerberg repeated his admission that the company "didn't do enough" to stop its tools "being used for harm".
