Federal prosecutors are conducting a criminal investigation into data deals Facebook struck with some of the world’s largest technology companies, intensifying scrutiny of the social
media giant’s business practices as it seeks to rebound from a year of scandal and setbacks.
A grand jury in New York has subpoenaed records from at least two prominent makers of smartphones and other devices, according to two people who were familiar with the requests
and who insisted on anonymity to discuss confidential legal matters. Both companies had entered into partnerships with Facebook, gaining broad access to the personal information
of hundreds of millions of its users.
The companies were among more than 150 firms, including Amazon, Apple, Microsoft and Sony, that had cut sharing deals with the world’s dominant social media platform. The
agreements, previously reported in The New York Times, let the companies see users’ friends, contact information and other data, sometimes without consent. Facebook has phased
out most of the partnerships over the past two years.

I'm getting Document Not Found in the OP embed but there's the story that's supposed to load.
Separately, good. Let the sunlight in.
Is this why Facebook wont let me log in and is down for maintenance
This have anything to do with Facebook being down today? If so, thats hilarious. About time they get more than a slap on the wrist.
Messenger hasn't let me load any messages old or new today at all; I even went on the website for messenger and on facebook itself.
Covering up evidence I guess 🤷♂️
either that or someone fucked up while pushing a loadbalancer config or something.
Next Mark statment: "Sorry, we got caught again"
