British regulators force the transfer of Facebook internal documents
British regulators have been tempted to use Facebook’s internal documents to investigate the data breach scandals of social networking giant Facebook.
These retrieved internal documents include emails from Facebook executives and Zucker Burke, as well as documents that may involve confidential information inside Facebook.
And these documents are not directly obtained from Facebook, but the British regulator forced Facebook software supplier Six4Three to provide documents.
Facebook’s opposition did not stop the UK:
It’s very troublesome for Facebook to fall into a data breach scandal, but Facebook actually has a negative response to investigations in various EU countries.
Even if Zuckerberg refused to evade the hearing of the International Committee, the United Kingdom directly used administrative decrees to retrieve documents from Facebook suppliers.
Facebook said that the relevant orders of the California State Court require that these documents must be issued in the United States, but the British regulators directly ignore them.
The British regulator believes that the transfer of documents from the relevant developers is within their own jurisdiction, so the orders of the US courts are ineffective for them.
After the final document was retrieved, Facebook said it was communicating with UK regulators to ensure that the documents that had been obtained were not yet read by anyone.
