Facebook COO Says Company Knew About Mishandled Data

Description

In an interview with NBC, Facebook's chief operating officer, Sheryl Sandberg said the social media giant knew Cambridge Analytica was mishandling user data 2 1/2 years ago. Sandberg added that when Facebook discovered the problem, executives relied on a consulting firm's assurances that it had deleted the data. She went on to say that the company could have done an audit but didn't. Cambridge Analytica is currently under investigation in both the United States and Britain for the way it obtained as many as 87 million users' data from Facebook. It's also being looked at for how it used that data to target voters on behalf of Donald Trump's campaign in the US and the Brexit vote in the UK.

    Susan Walsh/AP; Erin Scott/Reuters There's no love lost between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg.

Since then, they've butted heads over everything from artificial intelligence to Facebook's data-collection practices. Most recently, Musk tied Facebook to the violent insurrection in Washington, DC, describing it as a "domino effect." Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.

    Since the 19th century, the infamous Pinkerton spy agency has a history of union-busting and involving itself in businesses. Now, Business Insider reports Amazon has turned to Pinkerton to monitor European workers' labor union organizing efforts. Leaked documents from Amazon's Global Security Operations Center revealed analysts have been tracking workers' union organizing activities. A report from Motherboard also disclosed that Amazon data analysts use social media to monitor social justice and environmental activist groups' activities.
