Brussels is requesting an answer from Facebook for two weeks 03/27/2018. | 13: 15
Author of the text: Beta / AFP
The European Commission has requested Facebook to provide answers within two weeks to questions raised by the Cambridge Analyitica company, including the answer to the question of whether the personal data of European citizens were used.
The European Commission has also asked the US social network to inform it about the measures envisaged to avoid the possibility of repeating such a case, the letter that was sent by EU justice commissioner Vera Jurov, in which AFP had insight, was quoted as saying.
Despite Facebook's apologies, this social network has failed to stop the belief that their users' data is insufficiently protected, which became apparent by the discovery of the use of 50 million Facebook users by Cambridge Analyitica. Jurova also asked Facebook to outline what it intends to do and whether it intends to apply European data protection regulations and whether European citizens' data are affected in this scandal involving Cambridge Analyitica. Due to recent discoveries about the use of Facebook's data, the leaders of the European Twenty-Eight discussed this issue last week in Brussels.
"Social networks and digital platforms should guarantee transparent practice and complete protection of private life and personal data of citizens," the summit concluded. European Parliament President Antonio Tajani has invited Facebook owner Mark Zuckerberg to come to explain to European lawmakers what happened. On the same call from London, the company announced that Zakerberg will not come to respond to British MPs, but that on his behalf will arrive the senior executives of that company.

SCL, Parent Company of Cambridge Analytica, is Military-Intelligence Front For British Establishment

The scandal around mass data harvesting by Cambridge Analytica took a new twist on Monday.
A Channel 4 news undercover investigation revealed that the company's Eton-educated CEO Alexander Nix offered to use dirty tricks - including the use of bribery and sex workers - to entrap politicians and subvert elections.
Much of the media spotlight is now on Cambridge Analytica and their shadowy antics in elections worldwide, including that of Donald Trump.
However, Cambridge Analytica is a mere offshoot of Strategic Communication Laboratories (SCL Group) - an organisation with its roots deeply embedded within the British political, military and royal establishment.
Indeed, as the Observer article which broke the scandal said "For all intents and purposes, SCL/Cambridge Analytica are one and the same."
Like Cambridge Analytica, SCL group is a behavioral research and strategic communication company.
In 2005, SCL went public with a glitzy exhibit at the DSEI conference, the UK's largest showcase for military technology.
It's 'hard sell' was a demonstration of how the UK government could use a sophisticated media campaign of mass deception to fool the British people into the thinking an accident at a chemical plant had occurred and threatened central London. Genuinely.
Board members include an array of Lords, Tory donors, ex-British army officers and defense contractors. This is a scandal that cuts to the heart of the British establishment.
