Facebook Inc, already facing scrutiny from US lawmakers and regulators over how a political consulting firm obtained personal information from users of the social network, is now being probed by more federal agencies focusing on the company’s disclosures about the incident.
Facebook said Monday that it’s cooperating with the US Securities and Exchange Commission and the Federal Bureau of Investigation on their reviews of the data transfer to Cambridge Analytica, which worked on Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. The company already was facing questions from the Federal Trade Commission, Bloomberg reported in March.
