Facebook is under growing pressure from lawmakers and regulators concerned about how it protects users' privacy and about its potentially anticompetitive behaviour. In July, the Federal Trade Commission fined the company a record $5 billion (roughly Rs. 35,000 crores) for privacy violations. Facebook also faces investigations into possible anticompetitive behavior, such as its habit of buying potential rivals like Instagram.

Zuckerberg's most recent public visit to Washington was last spring when he testified before Congress about privacy, election interference and other issues.
