Facebook is once again embroiled in controversy as data analytics firm Cambridge Analytica is being investigated by British and U.S. authorities over allegations the firm stole data from 50 million Facebook users and used it to manipulate elections. The data acquired by Cambridge Analytica was reportedly used by President Donald Trump’s campaign during the 2016 US election to target election ads on Facebook.
