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.
