Facebook broke the law in its quest to destroy other businesses, the Culture Committee says in a report today. It says that social media sites should not be able to behave like ‘digital gangsters’, considering themselves beyond the law. The strong words come after Parliament used its legal powers to seize internal Facebook documents after chief executive Mark Zuckerberg refused to answer its questions last year. ‘From the documents we received from Six4Three, it is evident that Facebook intentionally and knowingly violated both data privacy and anti-competition laws,’ the report states. Facebook denied that it had broken data privacy and anti-competition laws.
