> I'm serious about doing what it takes to protect our community. While this specific issue involving Cambridge Analytica should no longer happen with new apps today, that doesn't change what happened in the past. We will learn from this experience to secure our platform further and make our community safer for everyone going forward.
It's good that Facebook took steps to secure the platform against third parties crawling the graph and scraping millions of users' personal details, which is what Cambridge Analytica reportedly did, and which was not a violation of their policy at the time. Kudos.
So the consensus seems to be that what Cambridge Analytica did in the Brexit vote and the 2016 US Election was wrong. Now they won't be able to do the same thing via Facebook. But what's keeping Facebook themselves from doing the same thing that Cambridge Analytica did in future elections?
