Facebook: data 87 million people shared

san francisco - Data from some 87 million Facebook users, mainly Americans, may have been transferred to research bureau Cambridge Analytica. That's what Facebook told us in a statement. Earlier, on the basis of estimates, it was thought that data would be about 50 million people.

The issue led to a lot of controversy over the privacy of Facebook users in recent weeks. Cambridge Analytica played a bad role in President Donald Trump's election campaign. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg earlier apologized and promised improvement. Meanwhile, the tech company saw billions of dollars evaporate from its stock market value.
