Facebook response to privacy probe is 'inadequate': California AG

The state AG filed a petition in the San Francisco Superior Court Wednesday, requesting the court enforce Facebook to comply with the subpoena and other requests.

Facebook provided no answers to 19 out of 27 of the questions the attorney general's office sent, provided partial responses to six of the questions and provided no documents in response to six document requests, according to Becerra's office.

Facebook's vice president of state and local policy Will Castleberry denied that the company was refusing to cooperate, saying the company has provided thousands of responses and hundreds of documents so far.

The fallout of the Cambridge Analytica scandal and the subsequent election-related disinformation campaigns on its platform continues to cast shadows on Facebook, and the company has been under increased scrutiny as the 2020 presidential elections ramp up in the U.S.
