Facebook Admits Cambridge Analytica May Have Obtained Personal Info on 87 Million Users
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Facebook has revealed it now believes the personal information of up to
87 million people may have been improperly shared without their
permission with the voter-profiling company Cambridge Analytica, which
worked to sway voters to support President Donald Trump. During a call
with reporters on Wednesday, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said, "We
didn't take a broad enough view on what our responsibility was, and that
was a huge mistake." Zuckerberg is scheduled to testify on Capitol Hill
next week.
