Facebook Inc. (FB) released a September 2015 document that
includes employee discussions of data scraping and Cambridge
Analytica, and said the document "has the potential to confuse two
different events surrounding our knowledge of Cambridge
Analytica."
Facebook deputy general counsel Paul Grewal said in a blog post
the company is "agreeing with the District of Columbia Attorney
General to jointly make public" the document.
Mr. Grewal said that "unconfirmed reports of scraping" and
policy violations by an app developer who sold user data to
Cambridge Analytica are "two distinct issues."
The document includes discussions about topics like creating a
"description of what we allow with respect to third party data
collection and use."
