NEW SHOCK FROM FACEBOOK: UNFORTUNATELY, PERSONAL DATA OF MOST OF OUR TWO BILLION USERS MIGHT HAVE BEEN STOLEN AND SHARED WITH THIRD PARTIES
The social media giant Facebook announced on Wednesday what was feared by many – they confirmed that the data of most of the two billion of their users was probably taken by “third parties”, of course, without their approval.
The company also announced that they would further restrict developers and companies access to information of about two billion of their users in the future, writes The Washington Post.
Facebook continues to claim that Cambridge Analytica, a company associated with the far right wing of the Republican Party, has unauthorizedly come into possession of the data on 87 million people, the vast majority of whom live in the United States. This means that about 37 million users more were affected than previously thought.
