The Facebook CEO is not only coming to the European Parliament to discuss the fallout from the Cambridge Analytica scandal. He’ll also remind the EU just how much good the company is doing inside its borders, reports Bloomberg. So what is on Zuckerberg’s agenda? Here’s what he plans to discuss:

 
    taking responsibility for privacy failures

    touting Facebook’s investment in Europe

    he’ll remind them he has an artificial intelligence research lab in Paris

    and a large engineering team in London

    and let’s not forget the massive data centers in Sweden, Ireland, and Denmark that set to open in 2020

    he’ll also tout the company’s “safety check” feature that allowed users to notify their loved ones they were safe after the Paris, London, and Brussels terror attacks

    and he’ll highlight how refugees are using Facebook to communicate with families back home

    Zuck also plans to say: “We’re committed to Europe. Many of the values Europeans care most deeply about are values we share: from the importance of human rights and the need for community to a love of technology, with all the potential it brings.”
