California AG reveals Facebook probe, says company has been dragging its feet
New court documents give the first look into the state of CA’s 18-month-long investigation into Facebook’s privacy dealings. In those documents, CA State Attorney General Xavier Becerra says Facebook has failed to comply with its subpoenas for more information in the state’s ongoing privacy investigation. It represents the first time the state has acknowledged the probe into Facebook, as investigators don’t disclose active probes, “unless there’s a legal action that makes it public,” Becerra said. “This is one of those times,” Becerra said.
