California reveals Facebook probe, says social media company stonewalling investigation WASHINGTON/SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - California revealed for the first time an 18-month investigation into Facebook Inc’s (FB.O) privacy practices and accused the social media giant on Wednesday of hampering the probe by failing to turn over emails from Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg. The revelation is the latest bad news for Facebook, which is already facing an investigation by 47 U.S. states over concerns the company engaged in anti-competitive practices, put consumer data at risk and pushed up advertising prices. Will Castleberry, Facebook’s vice president of state and local policy, said the company has “cooperated extensively with the state of California’s investigation.” A spokeswoman for California Attorney General Xavier Becerra quickly shot back: “It appears we have different definitions of cooperation,” noting there were 25 requests the company declined to answer or provide documents to fulfill. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-facebook-privacy/california-reveals-facebook-probe-says-social-media-company-stonewalling-investigation-idUSKBN1XG2NP?il=0
