This is stated in a press release published on the official website of the prosecutor general.
It is noted that James will lead this investigation.
“Even the largest social network in the world must obey the law and respect consumers. I am proud to announce that I will lead a bipartisan team of prosecutors in investigating cases of stifling competition and creating risks for consumers on Facebook, ”the statement said.
In June 2018, the head of the PR service of Facebook Elliot Schrage announced his resignation. The decision followed the scandal, which was caused by a massive leak of data from social network users into the possession of the analytical company Cambridge Analytica.
According to available information, the total number of users whose data was illegally transferred to a third party was 87 million.
In October 2018, the UK authorities fined Facebook $ 644 thousand in the case of a data leak through Cambridge Analytica.
