The resulting investigation is now "in full swing", in the words of Ime Archibong, a Vice President of Product Partnerships at Facebook.

"The investigation process is in full swing, and it has two phases".

Following the Cambridge Analytica data scandal, Facebook said it would begin a thorough audit and investigation of all apps on its platform with access to large amounts of user data. To conduct its investigations. This first stage of review may have resulted in the suspension of hundreds of apps but that doesn't mean if all of them actually engaged in data misuse.

"There is a lot more work to be done to find all the apps that may have misused people's Facebook data - and it will take time", Mr Archibong said. Archibong said the company has large teams of internal and external experts.

New, simpler menus have been provided on the website and in the app in addition to greater controls over how a person's data is used for advertising and within Facebook itself.
