Mark Zuckerberg has finally responded to the furor over Facebook’s handling of the Cambridge Analytica scandal. In a post today, he said he is working to prevent similar abuses of user privacy. “We have a responsibility to protect your data, and if we can’t then we don’t deserve to serve you,” Zuckerberg wrote in a post. “I’ve been working to understand exactly what happened and how to make sure this doesn’t happen again. The good news is that the most important actions to prevent this from happening again today we have already taken years ago. But we also made mistakes, there’s more to do, and we need to step up and do it.”

Though he took responsibility for Cambridge Analytica’s abuse of the platform, he stopped short of making an apology. His remarks were Zuckerberg’s first since reports in The New York Times and The Guardian revealed the extent to which data mining firm Cambridge Analytica misused user data from as many as 50 million Facebook users.
