Can companies handling user data be forced to give up information on people in the US through regulations in the UK? That's the question being tested by the UK's Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), which has demanded that Cambridge Analytica agent SCL Elections Limited hand over everything it has on file for American professor David Carroll.

Carroll requested his data back in September 2017, before the most recent Facebook controversy, but wasn't happy with what he got back. That's when he contacted the ICO to see if he would have better luck going through UK channels.
