Facebook Inc. is expanding its Washington office and consulting with privacy advocates as lawmakers question how well the world’s largest social-networking site protects the personal information of users.
The company is looking for a public-policy expert and a deputy press spokesman, following the June hiring of Marne Levine to head its Washington office. Levine is a former top aide to Larry Summers, director of President Barack Obama’s National Economic Council. The new hires would bring Facebook’s Washington team to eight, up from zero three years ago.
