Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has accepted questions from US and EU lawmakers who questioned how Cambridge Analytics improperly obtained personal data from 87 million Facebook users from a researcher.
In an update on the survey of the use of data analytics technology in political activities, Denham said she plans to impose a fine of 500,000 pounds (about $663,850) on Facebook, which is for Facebook, which has a market value of $590 billion. 1. It is the maximum fine allowed by the relevant laws of the United Kingdom.
Denham said that Facebook violated the law, did not protect people's information, and did not maintain enough transparency on how others collect data on their platforms.
She said in a statement: 'New technologies that use data analysis techniques to analyze micro-target groups enable campaign teams to connect with individual voters. But this cannot be at the expense of transparency, fairness and compliance.'
Facebook can respond to the UK Information Commissioner before the final decision is made. The company said it is reviewing the report and will respond soon.
British lawmakers are investigating 'fake news' and its impact on campaigns, and are increasingly paying attention to Cambridge analysis.
