Facebook stock dipped on a Wall Street Journal report that the corporate has uncovered emails linking chief executive officer Mark Zuckerberg to the social media giant’s controversial privacy practices.
Shares were down over 2% following
the news. The report says employees at the corporate are concerned that the emails could come under scrutiny during an investigation from the Federal Trade Commission.
The FTC is investigating whether or not security
lapses associated with the
Cambridge Analytica scandal violated a
2012 consent decree between
the agency and Facebook, according
to the report.
The emails, which were described to
the Journal reporters but not
seen, reportedly show that Zuckerberg raised questions about how the corporate was sharing information with third-party
developers, suggesting he knew of potential issues.
