It's unclear whether the cushion was specially requested by Mark Zuckerberg or whether it was brought in from his own office but as word got out on his "big boy" chair, there was no dearth of jokes on Twitter about the extra padding.

#Zuckerberg had to request a high chair to use the "people" sized table and chair set. pic.twitter.com/ptafl1H4we

That Mark Zuckerberg either demanded or, more entertainingly, brought, his own high quality leather booster chair to his senate hearing is everything you need to know about Mark Zuckerberg. https://t.co/i23D4aD39I

His advance "team" couldn't arrange a proper chair? Horrible optics but hilarious....Mark Zuckerberg used a booster seat to testify before Congress https://t.co/w5Mzl8i2eK via @nypost

Many also came to his defence.
Mark Zuckerberg on Tuesday took full responsibility and repeatedly apologised for the data leak of 87 millions Facebook users by British political consultant firm Cambridge Analytica for 2016 US presidential election.
"It's clear now that we didn't do enough to prevent these tools from being used for harm," Mark Zuckerberg told senators. "That goes for fake news, foreign interference in elections, and hate speech, as well as developers and data privacy."
The social media mogul managed to deflect any specific promises to support any congressional regulation of Facebook and other Internet companies.
"I'll have my team follow up with you so that way we can have this discussion across the different categories where I think this discussion needs to happen," Zuckerberg told senators when asked what regulations he thought were necessary.
Mark Zuckerberg will return to the US Capitol for a second day of hearing on Wednesday.
