Cambridge Analytica now faces accusations of violating US election laws

"Cambridge Analytica whistle-blower Christopher Wylie has accepted before British Parliamentary committee that Cambridge Analytica worked for the Congress Party". He said the company undertook regional projects for the party in India.

These employees said that their fellow workers were also nervous about breaking US campaign laws, and they added that Cambridge Analytica was providing "potentially inaccurate immigration documents" to their foreign employees who advised Republican campaigns.

Even though Nix said nothing about Cambridge Analytica's operations in India in the documentary, the poster seemed to be there to showcase one of the company's big clients. He claimed to have heard stories that Muresan, a Romanian national, may have been poisoned in a hotel room while in the African country. In the coming weeks we will expand Facebook's bug bounty program so that people can also report to us if they find misuses of data by app developers.

He said that he had some documentation on CA's involvement in India and offered to share it with the committee. "So he was pretending to work for one party, but was paid underhand by someone else". He added that it would be for Indian and Kenyan journalists to get together to investigate the matter further.

Members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, the House Energy and Commerce Committee and numerous other lawmakers have sent letters to Zuckerberg demanding he answer their questions. Its owner Mark Zuckerburg issued a public apology for his company's failure to protect users' data. The company has instead decided to make two senior executives available for the hearing.

But Facebook's response to the committee's invitation was deemed unsatisfactory by Mr Collins, who repeated his call for Mr Zuckerberg to give evidence in person or through a video link.

Happ, Rizzo, Schwarber go deep as Cubs defeat Marlins
But the Cubs bats bailed him out immediately as Willson Contreras' double in the top of the fourth gave the Cubs the lead back. That, paired with timely defense, and a lights out bullpen made Jon Lester's shaky outing pretty much nonexistent.

From 2014, CA obtained data of as many as 50 million Facebook users.

People took to Twitter to express their dismay.

"You have a wealthy company from a developed nation going into an economy or democracy that's still struggling to get its feet on the ground and taking advantage of that to profit from that", he told MPs.

As the controversy continues to escalate, Zuckerberg took out full-page advertisements in several United Kingdom and US Sunday newspapers to apologies.

"The last week showed how much more work we need to do to enforce our policies, and to help people understand how Facebook works and the choices they have over their data", said Erin Egan, vice president and chief privacy officer, policy, and Ashlie Beringer, vice president and deputy general counsel, in a statement.

The recordings were made during a series of meetings at London hotels between November 2017 and January 2018.
