The scandal of Facebook's personal data breaches is not over yet. On Thursday, Facebook claimed that the data that fell to the hands of Cambridge Analytica did not have 50 million accounts, with more than 80 million accounts. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg will be expected to appear in front of US Senate and Senate next week.
Not 50 million, 87 million Facebook accounts, the private data of which were collected by Cambridge Analytica, without the knowledge of the account owner and without permission from Facebook. This is what Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg wrote on his Facebook page on Thursday, accompanied by a sad reminder of his company's mistakes. He said there was nothing perfect and life was always a mistake, but what is important is to take this lesson to an experience.
Cambridge Analytica said in a statement that the data it collected was only about 30 million. In addition, Cambridge Analytica has claimed that it did not use those data in the Donald Trump campaign. And that it has abolished those data by 2015 after Facebook has been told to delete it because the information came without authorization from Facebook.
It's been recalled that Facebook's personal data was hacked by a third-party software hacker via Facebook. The data collected by Cambridge Analytica was suspected of being used by the company to be analyzed and sold to Donald Tram's election campaigning team to ease the campaign's propensity to the perception and perception of each individual.
Following the scandal, the director of Facebook has apologized for the accusations and pledged that the firm would take measures to manage and protect users' integrity. However, on Tuesday, Facebook announced that it had shut down 270 accounts of Facebook and Instagram, which is owned by a Russian company, the Internet Research Agency (IRA). The Russian company was suspected of fabricating a fake account to propagate false information to poison the public.
On April 10 next week, Mark Zuckerberg, along with representatives of Google and Twitter, will be in front of the US Senate Justice Committee. Then, on April 11, Facebook director must also be in front of the US Chamber of Commerce's Trade Commission. The Facebook director has yet to comment on the summons of the UK parliament and the European Parliament.
