Mr Zuckerberg has sold more Facebook stock than any other public company, shifting 1.14 million shares in the past three months. Facebook shares have dropped 6.7 percent since 50 million user accounts are feared to have lost private information to a Company named Cambridge Analytica. Since close last Friday Zuckerberg’s wealth has dropped from $75bn to $66bn.
Regarding Cambridge Analytica Facebook made this statement: “We are suspending Strategic Communication Laboratories (SCL), including their political data analytics firm, Cambridge Analytica, from Facebook”. In 2015 Facebook ordered Cambridge Analytica to destroy user data it had received from a company named Global Science Research which specialized in harvesting data from the platform. Now since a 26 year old whistle-blower named Christopher Wylie we discover it has not done so. The problem is however, the ease of which companies are able to utilize personal information to sway public opinion on the big decisions. Facebook is primed to manipulate the public. Only this time it was Cambridge Analytica. Who will use Facebook next?

Putin quoted the Trump administration's Nuclear Posture Review as good enough reason to carry on.
