Facebook ordered by U.S. judge to turn over data privacy records
A U.S. judge ordered Facebook Inc to give shareholders emails and other records concerning how the social media company handles data privacy, after data for 87 million users was accessed by the British political consulting firm Cambridge Analytica.
Shareholders sued Facebook last September to obtain records related to Cambridge Analytica and other breaches, and said that upon finding wrongdoing, they might sue company officers and directors through a so-called derivative lawsuit.
