The English High Court Reaction To The Facebook–Cambridge Analytica Data Scandal
Time: Friday Mar 23, 2018
Place: London, England
Details: Facebook customer Global Science Research sold information on over 87 million Facebook users to Cambridge Analytica, a political data analysis firm. According to The Guardian both Facebook and Cambridge Analytica threatened to sue the newspaper if it published the story. After publication, Facebook claimed that it had been "lied to". On March 23, 2018, The English High Court granted an application by the Information Commissioner's Office for a warrant to search Cambridge Analytica's London offices, ending a standoff between Facebook and the Information Commissioner over responsibility.
Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
