JAKARTA (Reuters) - Indonesia's communication ministry said it has asked Facebook Inc to confirm whether personal data from any of its citizens was shared with political consultancy Cambridge Analytica and is coordinating with police in case any laws were breached.

Facebook said this week that the personal information of up to 87 million users may have been improperly shared with Cambridge Analytica.
