At that point the overall population discovered that the British organization Cambridge Analytica could get data around 50 million Facebook clients (without the information of the last mentioned). Since the fundamental vector of crafted by Cambridge Analytica are calculations for investigating the political inclinations of voters, the information of clients of the interpersonal organization were utilized amid many race battles in different nations of the world. 

Therefore, Facebook was blamed for dismiss for their clients' information, carelessness and disregarding what happened, and Cambridge Analytica is associated with being in close contact with knowledge offices and affecting decision comes about (counting American ones). The entire world all of a sudden discussed the huge obligation that lies with the organizations with which clients themselves are glad to share their own information.

Starting now and into the foreseeable future, all logs throughout the year will consequently be erased. 

Toward the finish of his message, Schrepfer likewise conceded that the first computations weren't right. At the transfer of Cambridge Analytica were information not 50 million individuals, and 87 million. Speaking with journalists of The New York Times , Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg affirmed data on 87 million casualties and again apologized:
