California Attorney General breaks silence on Facebook, files a court order to force the social network to comply with its investigation by AngelAuYeung

California Attorney General Xavier Becerra announced today in a press conference just miles away from Facebook’s headquarters that the social network was not complying with his office’s subpoenas in an ongoing privacy investigation.

“If Facebook had complied with our request, we would not be making this announcement,” said Becerra in the press conference. “But our work must move forward.
