From UK regulators to state attorney generals in the United States, the demand for information is growing in the Cambridge Analytica case that involved "leaked" data from 60 million Facebook users.
"Since 2015, Facebook knew the firm had acquired the data by means that violated its own policies, and some particulars of the situation have featured in press reports for at least a year. But information disclosed by Chris Wylie, a former Cambridge Analytics data scientist turned whistleblower, featured in an Observer report this past weekend, has turned what started as an apparent Facebook policy violation into a global privacy scandal."
