British Facebook users notified about what happened to their data

Mark Zuckerberg’s revelation on Capitol Hill that he had his own data harvested has been echoed across the Atlantic, as British Facebook users are being notified about what happened to their personal details. In London, the Culture Secretary Matt Hancock hauled in Facebook executives to explain the data privacy harvest and what the company was doing about it. The department described the meeting as “robust but constructive”. Facebook executives were told they face increased regulation and even new legislation.
