The founder of Six4Three, a now-defunct US software company, was compelled to hand over the documents through a rare parliamentary instrument during a business trip to London, the newspaper reported. In another unusual move, Parliament sent an officer to the founder's hotel with a warning to comply with the order or face possible fines or imprisonment, The Guardian reported.

The seizure came as more countries called Zuckerberg to attend a joint international hearing in London next week investigating disinformation and election interference. Facebook has been under intense scrutiny for how it has responded to the presence of propaganda and other forms of disinformation appearing in people's Facebook news feeds.
