Facebook shares plummet
Facebook shares faced their biggest fall in years from 190 US dollars in January to $150 now, after continuing bad publicity surrounding the Cambridge Analytica scandal. With the Canadian whistle-blower Christopher Wylie, appearing this week before a UK Parliamentary committee, calls have been made for Mark Zuckerberg to do the same. The committee is asking questions about the misuse of raw data supplied by Facebook, on 50 Million users, to the company Cambridge Analytica, and whether Facebook were aware of how this data was being used in the US presidential campaign and the UK Brexit vote.
