Facebook Inc.’s Mark Zuckerberg, breaking a media silence on the latest consumer imbroglio to engulf the social media company, vowed to inform each of his two billion-plus users if there’s a chance their personal data was compromised.

In an interview with CNN, the billionaire chief executive officer said he would appear before Congress if necessary, to testify on revelationsBloomberg Terminal that a researcher harvested data on 50 million and sold it on surreptitiously to consultancy Cambridge Analytica.
