The government is considering granting the Information Commissioner’s Office extra powers in light of the Cambridge Analytica scandal, NS Tech can disclose.

The move comes after the ICO was forced to wait four days last week to secure a court warrant to raid Cambridge Analytica’s offices, as part of an investigation into whether it had retained data improperly harvested from Facebook.
