UK Information Commissioner Elizabeth Denham said Monday she's seeking a warrant to search the company's offices and servers for any evidence of illegal activity. The company had harvested information from 50 million Facebook accounts without users' permission and then misused it for political ads during the 2016 US presidential election, The New York Times reported Saturday.
Denham told the UK's Channel 4 that her office "has been carrying out an investigation into data analytics and political profiling and micro-targeting for several months now. And we have heard similar allegations during our investigation."
