A month after Mark Zuckerberg fielded questions over two days at Capitol Hill, an odd hearing format allowed the Facebook CEO to once again dance his way around tough questions posed this time by members of the European Parliament.

Zuckerberg faced off with Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) in a roundtable session that saw the European lawmakers pose their questions consecutively – covering everything from Cambridge Analytica to election meddling, from shadow profile to Facebook’s monopoly. After receiving all the questions, the boss of the internet behemoth took around 30 minutes giving responses to the hour of questions fired at him – allowing Zuckerberg to pick and choose which questions he was comfortable answering.

The Facebook CEO said he had made a note of the questions that were missed and that he would “follow-up” later in writing with answers to those questions – the same thing he said when facing US lawmakers.

The hearing did see Zuckerberg offer up his latest Facebook-related apology, of which there have been many over the year, saying: “Whether it’s fake news, foreign interference in elections, or developers misusing people’s information, we didn’t take a broad enough view of our responsibilities. That was a mistake, and I’m sorry.”

The problem is that the Facebook boss isn’t sorry enough to answer the hard-hitting questions that could potentially land himself and his company in hot water.

Zuckerberg was asked by German politician Manfred Weber whether he believed his company was a monopoly and if it was he could convince the European Parliament that it wasn’t. Furthermore, the CEO was asked the hard-hitting question of if he was prepared to be known as “a genius that created a digital monster that is destroying our democracies and societies,” one of several gems from Belgian politician Guy Verhofstatdt during the hearing.

Several MEPs also fired questions at Zuckerberg relating to the upcoming implementation general data protection regulation (GDPR) and over the need for some sort of regulation to be put in place on internet companies – the Facebook CEO using the canned reply of “I don’t think the question here is whether or not there should be regulation, I think the question is ‘what is the right regulation?’”

The was also the question of ‘shadow profiles’ – the collection of data from non-Facebook users – from British politician Syed Kamall. Though this question was entirely ignored by Zuckerberg, merely giving a nervous laugh when pushed to provide information about the collection of non-user data and what it is used for and moving on swiftly.

Overall, despite the questions levelled at Zuckerberg being several levels better than anything said by US lawmakers, the Facebook CEO still managed to avoid the tough questions. The somewhat farcical format enabled him to do this, and means he has now faced 11 and a half hours of questioning from US Parliament and European Parliament combined without answering any difficult questions over his social network.
