Facebook moved to change its relationship status with the British tax authorities on Friday.

The move comes in the face of growing anger across Europe about American technology giants’ aggressive accounting practices.

Google is facing its own issues over tax across the 28-member bloc, as French and Italian authorities investigate, while Apple, whose international operations are run from low-tax Ireland, is at the center of a lengthy inquiry by the European Commission, the executive arm of the European Union, about whether it received a preferential — and potentially illegal — tax deal from the Irish authorities. Apple and the Irish government deny any wrongdoing.
