Scrutiny falls on Facebook following reports of data harvesting for Trump campaign

Former Staff Member
Following The Guardian breaking this story over the weekend, concern has grown over how this happened and why nothing was done earlier to rectify the issue. #DeleteFacebook is trending with many users understandably angry over how their data was allegedly harvested and used to influence political elections.


What do you think should be done, firstly to rectify this issue and secondly to prevent things like this happening in future?

    Schools/colleges/unirversities are definitely a good place to start John Haith‍ - though we might need something else for us over 21 years!


    That's a good point about targeted marketing - it's completely prevalant in society and has been for years. I suppose the line depends on the data that's being used to target us. Our age group might be okay (easy to find out, unchangeable), our weight may not be (personal, sensitive info)
