Zuckerberg and Facebook sold "as much access to users as possible," AG says.

All the while, Facebook and Zuckerberg were trying to convince users in their user-facing statements that their data was safe," Racine alleged.

A year ago, Racine sued Amazon, accusing the online retail giant of anticompetitive practices in its treatment of sellers on its platform. The practices have raised prices for consumers and stifled innovation and choice in the online retail market, he alleged. Racine tried last year to add Zuckerberg as a defendant in his ongoing suit against Facebook over Cambridge Analytica from 2018. But Racine’s suit brought the rare action of a regulator specifically aiming at a Big Tech CEO. The social network giant has nearly 3 billion users worldwide. Cambridge Analytica gathered details on as many as 87 million Facebook user s without their permission.

“The evidence shows Mr. Zuckerberg was personally involved in Facebook’s failure to protect the privacy and data of its users leading directly to the Cambridge Analytica incident. Cambridge Analytica worked in support of the 2016 campaigns of Trump, Ted Cruz and Ben Carson, all Republicans. It was founded in 2013 by former Renaissance Technologies co-CEO Robert Mercer, a major supporter of Trump in 2016. Steve Bannon, Trump’s former chief strategist, was one of the campaign’s liaisons to Cambridge Analytica, which collapsed after revelations about its harvesting and use of personal data. “What value does it add to name him? “We continue to persist and have followed the evidence right to Mr. Zuckerberg,” Mr. Racine said in the statement. A “sweeping investigation” revealed that Mr. Zuckerberg contributed to lax oversight of user data and the creation of misleading privacy agreements that resulted in Cambridge Analytica and other third parties getting their hands on the personal information of 87 million Americans, D.C. Attorney General Karl Racine said in a statement on Monday.
