Facebook is being taken to court by Australia’s Privacy Regulator over the Cambridge Analytica scandal.
The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner stated that Facebook has infringed more than 300,000 Australians’ privacy, and that the social media platform left personal data “exposed to be sold and used for political profiling”.
The Australian Commissioner’s office said "Facebook failed to take reasonable steps to protect those individuals' personal information from unauthorised disclosure."
The case is now before the Federal Court.
