6:10 pm
use alec forest whiting has been tracking that story and joins me now welcome alex 1st of all can you explain exactly why this fines be levied well the u.s. federal trade commission or f.t.c. is basically the consumer protection agency and it is been investigating allegations that the british political consultancy firm cambridge analytical had been accessing the data of tens of millions of facebook users the cambridge analysts ago which has since collapsed had a quiz on facebook where it was harvesting this information and the company was also alleged to have had links with donald trump's 2016 presidential campaign the issue is whether facebook broke regulations in not notifying facebook users that they were using their data and sharing it and that they didn't get consent from those users so that is what this f.t.c. investigation has been about also talking about

6:12 pm
to the amount of data you can store and also what ads you can put to use and focus on these facebook uses but just look at that commission a majority like what is being offered this 5000000000 dollar fine and perhaps won't want any more however it would be up to the department of justice whether they go ahead with this and do not think that facebook is completely out of the woods there are other investigations going on including from outside the us so we just have to read and see how it pans out alex forrest whiting thank you very much for those insights next week it'll be half a century since humans landed on the moon for the 1st time on the apollo 11 mission in the lead up to the anniversary auction houses in new york are preparing to seals of artifacts including the original if someone really film images of but i can make one small step for man one giant leap for mankind moment. this could be
