Facebook Takes Out Newspaper Ads To Apologize For Cambridge Analytica Scandal
The employees include the suspended CEO Alexander Nix (Cambridge Analytica)which has been involved in this.He has a history of using the manufactured fake news and also tricks to swing the elections around the world and not just the USA political elections.
He said he eventually made a decision to speak out after US President Donald Trump's shock election victory, which he partly attributed to the misuse of personal data for political purposes.
A former employee of the data firm Cambridge Analytica tells CNN the company might have violated U.S. election laws by using non-US citizens to work on American campaigns during the 2014 midterm election cycle.
However, in another twist, personal data protection expert Paul-Olivier Dehaye, who was also giving evidence before British lawmakers, revealed that an Indian billionaire paid SCL Group to ensure that Congress lost the elections.
The Congress leader said they had challenged them to lodge an FIR against Facebook, Cambridge Analytica, their partner firm in India, but asked, "Why has the Law Minister not done so".
Wylie was appearing in front of United Kingdom lawmakers in London Tuesday.
"I think it is completely reasonable to say that there could've been a different outcome in the [EU referendum] had there not been, in my view, cheating".
"Dear Mr Nix... thank you for your letter of 27 March agreeing to appear before the Committee to give further oral evidence".
The firm at the centre of the controversy, Cambridge Analytica, had plans of "moving into" Australia recently, but the Federal Government and Opposition have both denied that they have worked with the company. "Broadly, this is a company that goes around the world and undermines civil institutions of countries that are struggling to develop those institutions. This is what modern colonialism looks like", Wylie tweeted (see box).

Brendan Fischer of the Campaign Legal Center said all the facts about the foreign employees' roles in these U.S. campaigns need to be known before reaching any legal conclusions. The Cambridge Analytica scandal is a huge deal, of that there is no question.
"The Congress has had no truck with Cambridge Analytica ever or have we ever hired its services".
"While this specific issue involving Cambridge Analytica should no longer happen with new apps today, that doesn't change what happened in the past", he wrote in a post.
Wylie alleged that Aggregate IQ acted as a "proxy money-laundering vehicle" for funneling illegal funds into campaigns calling for the U.K.to leave the European Union.
The Reuters/Ipsos online poll found that 41 per cent of Americans trust Facebook to obey laws that protect their personal information, compared with 66 per cent who said they trust Amazon, 62 per cent who trust Alphabet's Google, 60 per cent for Microsoft.
CA has been accused of illegally using data of tens of millions of Facebook users for political work on behalf of its clients.
"You can't have targeting software that doesn't access the database", Wylie added, saying that he has submitted documentation to the committee proving this.
Cambridge Analytica's parent company Strategic Communication Laboratories (SCL) had observed six states including Kerala on activities other than elections.
