Earlier in March, media reported that the personal information of about 50 million Facebook users had been harvested without their permission by Cambridge Analytica.
The firm used data to develop a mechanism that would predict and influence the behavior of voters. Cambridge Analytica worked for President Donald Trump’s campaign during the 2016 election, among others.
