The world is focusing on leaked privacy reports of the number of Facebook users illegally picked up. The latest report shows that 87 million users have been stolen.
Private data that was stolen by Facebook users was attributed to a British analyst, Cambridge Analytica, and an analytical advantage that helped Sohn win the election in late 2016.
Accusation
Facebook condemns Cambridge Analytica for stealing private data to use this. And Cambridge Analytica also apologized and said it used only 300,000 data, not 87 million, and that the data had been deleted since 2015. The British analyst reports that it had obtained these data by creating the app and did not know that the data was illegal.
Lost confidence
Although
the two companies have interpreted and apologized to users, some users
still suspect that this is not a stolen data, but it is a joint venture
between the two companies to generate massive profits. Interestingly, it was not found that founder Mark Zuckerger sued British companies.Another issue besides voting in the United States, Facebook has also used scams to use data to help vote in other countries.
Some users have announced that they have shut down their social network account, which has been abused since the company violates privacy. However, so far, Facebook has 2.2 billion users.
In addition to Facebook, some users are also using other social networks such as Telegram, Twitter, WhatsApp, and Signal. So if users are more concerned about their security with Facebook, they can turn to other social networking sites.
Government action
Next week, Mark Zuckerberg will appear in the US Congress over the leaked private statements of these users.
The British Parliament and the European Union have also summoned the social network's founder, but have not yet set the daylight. Along with the leaked data, Europe is also studying tax revenues from Facebook.
