For weeks, Facebook has been struggling with the fallout from a third-party app that leaked 87 million Facebook profiles to the campaign firm Cambridge Analytica — but speaking to a House committee today, Zuckerberg revealed a new personal connection to the breach.


Apparently, Zuckerberg himself was one of the many Facebook profiles collected through the app, the Verge reports.


The revelation came as part of a string of yes-or-no questions from Rep Anna Eschoo (D-CA), who encouraged Facebook to adopt a more serious approach to data privacy.
