Data Firm At Center Of Facebook Privacy Scandal Will Close (Cambridge Analytica)
« on: May 02, 2018, 08:02:33 pm »
NEW YORK (AP) — Cambridge Analytica, the Trump-affiliated data firm at the center of Facebook's worst privacy scandal in history, is declaring bankruptcy and shutting down.

The London firm blamed "unfairly negative media coverage" and said it has been "vilified" for actions it says are both legal and widely accepted as part of online advertising.

Cambridge Analytica said it has filed papers to begin insolvency proceedings in the U.K. and will seek bankruptcy protection in a federal court in New York.

I’m still surprised that people give all of their real information to sites like Facebook.  When I sign up for an online account and I’m asked for my name, birthday, etc., I make it up.

Wait, so you're not really the first wife of Henry VIII?
