Digital secretary Matt Hancock says social media firm not above the law and must do more
The digital secretary, Matt Hancock, has warned Facebook that it was not above the law, as he threatened the social media firm with regulation if it failed to protect users' data more effectively.
At what government sources said was a "robust but constructive" meeting, Hancock warned Facebook the relationship between government and social media firms would have to change.
