The scandal involving Facebook and political consulting firm Cambridge Analytica has spawned a campaign the social network likely did not want to see: #deleteFacebook.
The hashtag appearing on Twitter launched following Facebook’s announcement it suspended Cambridge Analytica for improperly securing profile information. The firm reportedly gained access to the personal information of tens of millions of Facebook users and used it to target voters during the 2016 election.
The revelation raises concerns over Facebook’s role in guarding its platform against Russian meddling and protecting user data from third parties.
