Facebook has agreed to pay a £500,000 fine issued by the UK’s data protection watchdog in light of the Cambridge Analytica scandal.

The settlement, in which Facebook agreed to withdraw its appeal but did not make an admission of liability, brings to a close a year-long legal battle that threatened to embarrass both organisations.
