Cambridge Analytica whistleblower releases new Facebook documents

London: Cambridge Analytica whistleblower Brittany Kaiser has released new documents that details initial exchange in 2015 where Facebook only requested the political consultancy firm by email to delete the data, and casually asked the company to “provide us with confirmation”.
It wasn’t until January 2016 that Facebook received t`he signed certification from Cambridge Analytica CEO Alexander Nix, claiming they had deleted the data related to 87 million Facebook users, TechCrunch reported on Friday.
The Facebook users’ data was improperly obtained in 2014 by researchers with access to Facebook’s developer platform.
Kaiser, a former employee of the now defunct British data analytics and consulting company Cambridge Analytica, revealed the documents at the WorldWebForum conference in Zurich.
