"British politicians accused Facebook of knowingly and intentionally violating data privacy and antitrust law in a damning report into fake news."

“Companies like Facebook should not be allowed to behave like ‘digital gangsters’ in the online world, considering themselves to be ahead of and beyond the law,” the report warns.
