The 78 -page complaint was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Sarah Wynn-Williams , a former global policy director who worked on a team handling China policy and left the company in 2017 .

Facebook reportedly agreed to host Chinese user data on servers in China , including users in Hong Kong , who had previously received stronger protections.
