[(Title)] Investigators broaden focus on Facebook's role in sharing data with Cambridge Analytica

A federal investigation into Facebook's sharing of data with political consultancy Cambridge Analytica has broadened to focus on the actions and statements of the tech giant and involves three agencies,including the Securities and Exchange Commission, according to people familiar with the official inquiries.

据熟悉官方调查的人士透露，联邦政府调查Facebook与政治咨询公司Cambridge Analytica的数据共享已扩大到专注于科技巨头的行动和言论上，并涉及三家机构，包括证券交易委员会。

Representatives for the FBI, the SEC and the Federal Trade Commission have joined the Justice Department in its inquiries about the two companies and the sharing of personal information of 71 million Americans,

在讨论这件尚未完成的调查时，一些不愿透露姓名的人表示，这表明调查具有广泛性。

据熟悉联邦调查的人士透露，包括首席执行官马克·扎克伯格在内的Facebook官员的国会山证词也正在接受审查。

Facebook证实，它收到了联邦机构的问询，并表示它正在以其他方式分享信息和开展合作，司法部和其他联邦机构拒绝发表评论。

联邦贸易委员会在3月份披露，正在调查Facebook可能侵犯隐私的问题。自丑闻爆发以来，剑桥分析公司已经关闭了业务，并且对其新闻办公室的调查被归还为无法投递。
