Facebook/Cambridge Analytica Data Breach

The Facebook/Cambridge Analytica data breach is an ongoing situation involving the social media company Facebook and the political consulting firm Cambridge Analytica. Starting in 2014, Cambridge Analytica began gathering information about Facebook users and their friends, without the consent of the friends. After sifting through the data, Cambridge would use it to develop advertisements based off the "profiles" of the users.

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, testified before the U.S. Congress on April 10th and April 11th, 2017. He was questioned regarding the use of personal data in relation with the breach.
