Facebook Inc could be subjected to at least two more state probes in the United States on the alleged mishandling of user data, according to Bloomberg.

The report, which cited people familiar with the matter, said Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro and his Illinois counterpart Kwame Raoul have joined forces with Connecticut to focus on investigating existing allegations.
