Analytica data scandal
-
Facebook has been allegedly related to the Cambridge Analytica scandal, collected the personal data of 84 Million users of Facebook which was said to be 10 million earlier. Zuckerberg was called to the court of law in the relevance.
On April 4, 2018, Facebook admitted that the proportion was much higher than believed earlier. Mike Schroepfer shared that Facebook personal data of around 87 million people (Mostly in the USA) may have been shared with the Cambridge Analytica without users concern.
CEO of Facebook accepted that there have been mistakes done from their side. He shared a proper explanation on how the improper data harvest took place.
He stated that in the year 2007 a platform was introduced on Facebook with the vision that more app should be social such as calendars, maps etc and to do this they enabled users to log in to apps and share their data with their friends.
In 2013 Aleksandr Kogan a researcher at Cambridge University created an app more like a personal quiz, installed by more than 300,000 people allowing to share their data as well as some from their friends whose privacy settings allowed it.That way Kogan was able to access the data of many users and also their friends.
To prevent abusive app in 2014, Facebook declared that the whole platform was to be changed by them limiting the access of apps to users personal information.
The following year in 2015 they got to know through journalists at The Guardian that Kogan had shared data with Cambridge Analytica from his app which was against their policies for developers. And Korgan's app was banned from Facebook and demanded Kogan and other entities he shared the data with to delete all the collected data which the certified they had.
In 2018 Facebook came to know that Cambridge Analytica may not have deleted the data as they had said. But Cambridge Analytica claims that they have deleted the data already. They have now agreed to a forensic audit by a firm we hired to investigate this also along with that Facebook is working with the U.K. Information Commissioner?s Office to investigate the whole case as they have jurisdiction over Cambridge Analytica.
