The Facebook case is an example of a scandal of an immense breach of ethical practices.Facebook's biggest scandal hit in March 2018, when the Guardian and New York Times reported that a firm called Global Science Research had harvested data from millions of Facebook users in 2013 - without their explicit consent. This was possible because a previous version of Facebook's privacy policy had allowed apps to access data about users' friends - such as their name, birthday and location. This had enabled Global Science Research to gather information about 87 million Facebook users even though only around 30,000 people had actually used their app. These details were later sold to Cambridge Analytica, who used it to create highly-targeted ads to encourage users to vote for Trump and Brexit. This scandal was so serious that Mark Zuckerberg was called to answer questions in front of Congress in the US.
