Facebook has revealed that 87 million users could have been affected by the Cambridge Analytica scandal, nearly 40 million more than previously estimated. The figure includes more than a million users from the UK with the majority of those potentially affected based in the US.
The social media firm’s boss Mark Zuckerberg said Facebook “didn’t do enough” to protect its users, at a press conference on Wednesday. “We didn’t take a broad enough view of what our responsibility is. That was a huge mistake. It was my mistake,” he said.
