Documents leaked to UK journalists reveals a global lobbying operation carried out by Facebook targeting legislators around the world, including in countries like the U.K., United States, Canada, India and Brazil. 

Facebook promised to open a data centre in Canada to create jobs, in exchange for the federal government offering assurances that it would not impose its jurisdiction over the company's non-Canadian data. 

"This should give us pause to how we address these companies now and how we push for the increased privacy reforms," Taylor Owen, Beaverbrook Chair in Media Ethics and Communication at Â鶹AV.
