Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg heads back to Capitol Hill Thursday after a high-powered dinner Wednesday night with several senators. But the pre-hearing dinner was the social media chief’s idea.

“At Facebook’s request, Senator Warner helped organize a dinner meeting in Washington for Mr. Zuckerberg and a group of Senators,” Rachel Cohen, a spokesperson for Warner said in a statement, “The participants had a discussion touching on multiple issues, including the role and responsibility of social media platforms in protecting our democracy, and what steps Congress should take to defend our elections, protect consumer data, and encourage competition in the social media space.”

Other members of the Senate attending the dinner included Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., a vocal critic of Facebook, and Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., who met separately with Zuckerberg.
