A similar notice was dispatched to Cambridge Analytica following media reports that it had misused data to profile users and influence elections.

Meanwhile, Facebook has confirmed that they have furnished their responses to the government and said that they are grateful to the Indian government for giving an opportunity to address concerns.

More recently however, the company Emerdata Limited was created in August 2017 and Alexander Taylor, CA's Chief Data Officer, was the one who was initially listed as the owner of the company alongside the chairman of SCL, the parent company of Cambridge Analytica, Julian Wheatland.

The Ministry of Electronics and IT had served the second notice to Facebook shortly after finding the first reply from the British data firm Cambridge Analytica "cryptic and evasive".

Whether or not mining of such data was done with the users' consent?

Officials have said response from Cambridge Analytica is being awaited. We are matching their points with what we have asked them. We can't look at the issue in isolation.

Added Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson: "Not many people would say we would get to the Champions League final". Swansea needed a 10-goal swing - beating Stoke and seeing Southampton hammered by Manchester City - to stay up.

The official said since the United Kingdom company is under probe from their government, giving some to them will be appropriate.

Former Cambridge Analytica staffer Christopher Wylie sparked a global debate over electronic privacy when he alleged the company used data from tens of millions of Facebook accounts to help U.S. President Donald Trump's 2016 election campaign.

Cambridge Analytica announced last week that it plans to file for bankruptcy in Britain and the United States, saying negative publicity from the scandal had driven potential clients away.

What kind of data was collected in India?

Without giving details of the reply sent to governments latest notice, the spokersperson said Facebook is committed towards its role in protecting the integrity of the electoral process in India.
