US probe finds Cambridge Analytica misled Facebook users on data
US regulators concluded Friday that British consultancy Cambridge Analytica -- at the centre of a massive scandal on hijacking of Facebook data -- deceived users of the social network about how it collected and handled their personal information.
The Federal Trade Commission said its investigation launched in March 2018 concluded that the now-defunct political consulting firm "engaged in deceptive practices to harvest personal information from tens of millions of Facebook users for voter profiling and targeting."
