California asked a court to force Facebook Inc. to cooperate with an investigation into whether the company violated its users’ privacy and state law.
The state says it demanded information from the social media giant in June for an investigation launched last year and that the company’s response has been “patently deficient.” California Attorney General Xavier Becerra said at a news conference Wednesday that he couldn’t discuss the details of the probe.
