Cambridge Analytica Still Hasn't Deleted Facebook Data: Report

Political data analytics firm Cambridge Analytica still has not deleted the entirety of the Facebook user data it acquired through questionable means in 2015 despite requests that it do so, Channel 4 News reported. According to a new report from the British broadcaster, Cambridge Analytica still maintains a database of personal information and interests pertaining to 136,000 individuals located in the state of Colorado. Cambridge Analytica reportedly has not completely deleted the Facebook data it acquired. It is unclear as to why the political firm is still hanging onto the sizable chunk of data, which purportedly contains a detailed personality and psychological profile for each person. Cambridge Analytica typically uses such information for political advertising campaigns.
