Definers Public Affairs, the lobbying and opposition research firm whose work on behalf of Facebook has the tech giant facing uncomfortable new scrutiny, launched a partnership a year ago with Dentons with a mission to “disrupt the political, regulatory and communications environment over the long term,” the law firm said at the time. 

Now it’s unclear what has come of the joint effort, dubbed 3D Global Affairs—though both parties say Dentons was not involved in Definers’ work for Facebook.
