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

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?

    I think user education is the key...


    "Hundreds of thousands of users were paid to take a standard personality test and consented to share their data for academic use"


    Although it says "for academic use", how many users would have genuinely dropped out if it wasn't for academic researh? Not many in my opinion
