A comment on Facebook spooked after MPs seize documents for privacy breach probe. Parent comment
It seems the facebook seizure was not ordered by Theresa May's government, but instead by parliament itself exerting its powers directly.
It's an unusual move and that is what makes this particularly interesting.
I'm not sure why so many people have replied to me trying to insist that government and parliament mean the same thing. They do not.
