Facebook admits Cambridge Analytica hijacked data on up to 87M users
https://techcrunch.com/2018/04/04/cambridge-analytica-87-million/
Facebook will warn 87 million users, mostly in the U.S, that
their data "may have been improperly shared with Cambridge
Analytica by apps that they or their friends used", the
company just announced. Facebook CTO Mike Schoepfer tells
TechCrunch that Facebook will warn these users with a notice
atop the News Feed with information about what data of theirs
might have been attained, and what they should do now. It will
also show its new bulk app permissions removal tool atop the
feed.
