Facebook Inc has turned the tables on a company that it accuses of leaking confidential documents that portray the social networking giant exploiting user data to bolster its bottom line. 

A California state judge concluded evidence shows there was “crime or fraud” involved in the disclosure of Facebook records that were sealed in a lawsuit and wound up being publicised by a committee of the UK Parliament.
