talking about two companies, about the parent company, scl, and he also referred to cambridge analytica. i can say as far as i'm aware, the government has no current contracts with cambridge analytica or with the scl group. what we have seen in cambridge analytica art allegations are clearly very concerning, and it is absolutely right that they should be properly investigated. it's right that the information commissioner is doing exactly that. because people need to have confidence in how their personal data is being used. and i would expect facebook, cambridge analytica and all organizations involved to comply fully with the investigation that's taking place. and i'm pleased to say, of course, that the bill we are bringing forward on data protection will strengthen legislation around data protection and give the ico, the information commissioner office, tougher powers to ensure organizations comply, and i hope it would be supported from everybody across this house. >> we now have a lot of back benchers questions to get to. mr. gordon henderson? >> mr. speaker, some london boroughs are rentingouses in ke

talking about two companies, about the parent company, scl, and he also referred to cambridge analytica and i can say that as farnment has no contracts with cambridge analytical or with the scl group. later, on the committee corridor, a former operations manager for facebook told mps he'd raised concerns about the risk of users‘ data being abused — but the company didn't tell users. speaking on a rather ropey video—link to the culture committee, sandy parakilas, described how a firm like cambridge analytica could get personal data when people connected to an app linked to facebook. facebook asks you the user for permission to give certain kinds of information from your facebook account and once you agree, facebook passes that data from facebook‘s servers to the developer. he explained that they gave the developer the ability to access data relating to the users‘ friends — but those people hadn‘t explicitly given their authorisation. as a senior manager, he raised the issue with executives who are still at the company now. i included lists of bad actors and potential bad actors, which i included lists of vulnerab

all the cambridge analytica people they had to know cambridge analytica was the most promotion promotional company in history >> even if there has been wrongdoing, whose wrongdoing is it as faryou can tell? >> clearly they're issues for facebook relative to the consent decree cambridge analytica as far as i can tell has broken every rule in the book. i don't know whether they're going to be federal election commissions issues there, maybe fraud issues there there's a lot -- >> so cambridge analytica will say, you know, this data was brought to us by a third party we had access to it, then we didn't use it. >> i'm not sure i buy their story. it looks more like they set up the researcher, right. if you look at the timeline, look at all that, it would not be crazy to assume that they sent the researcher in to do that whole thing under false pretenses. from facebook's point of view, they were under a consent decree they should have been doing serious diligence on that researcher they should have been doing research immediately afterwards to see how the stuff was being used they bear some real responsibility for that. >> roger, even if facebook hasn't broken any laws or broken an

far covered. leaving every competitor, threat and challenge outmaneuvered. comcast business outmaneuver. charles: cambridge analytica, the company that worked on trump's 2016 campaign denies it did anything wrong. ass facebook is concerned, the company is hiring a firm to conduct a comprehensive audit of cambridge analytica. paul scott and co-founder of abd worldwide. gillian, this isn't the first rodeo for facebook when it comes to this kind of stuff. i think people around the world have given them so much information that they have a fiduciary responsibility to handle it with a lot more care than they do. >> how much personal information people are giving to facebook and whether facebook is even capable of holding third parties up to the terms of the contract. from what we know about this story it seems like a third party passed that information along in an unauthorized fashion to facebook analytica. i'm not sure there is much facebook can do about it other than sue over it. charles: flagging shooters when it comes to folks who expressed terroristic tendencies. we have seen facebook fail in a potential role they have the burden of. it's -- it has consequences when they let it run amok. >> i'll g

as far as the latest data concern, he is keeping a low profile. cambridge analytica using data from 50 million user. the company failed to inform those. cambridge analytica was told to delete the data, which, according to reports, never happened. facebook offered to delete the accounts of those that brought the scanned ol to light. people like chris wylie, former cambridge research esh at analytica. he described how the company worked. >> imagine i ask you and say hey, if i give you $1 or $2 can you fill out the survey, do it on the app. and you say fine. i don't just capture responses. i capture information about you from facebook. and then crawls through your social network and captures the data. by you filling out my survey, i capture 300 records. reporter: the users facebook friends were spied on without consent. their likes, gender, sexual orientation and political leanings. everything was gathered. on twitter, facebook executive andrew bosworth denied climbs of a data link saying no passwords or information were stolen or hacked. friday, facebook announced that

you also say that cambridge analytica was testing trump slogans as far back as 2014, right?rted running. these are terms like deep state and build that wall. go ahead. >> so we were testing all kinds of messages and all kinds of imagery that included, you know, images of walls, people scaling walls. you know, we tested drain the swamp. you know, testing ideas of the deep state and the nsa watching you and the government is, you know, conspiring against you. and a lot of these narratives, which at the time would have seemed, you know, crazy for a mainstream candidate to, you know, run on, those were the things that we were finding that there were pockets of americans who this really appealed to. and steve bannon knew that because we were doing the research on it. and i was surprised when i saw, you know, the trump campaign and it started talking about, you know, building walls or draining the swamp. and i'm remembering in my head, wait, we tested this. so, you know, you would have to ask the company, you know, and steve bannon where they -- you know, where they got these narr

cambridge analytica. not only on their efforts as far as the election campaign of president donald trump is concerned, butta that was used in sharing in to what extent they had the knowledge meant of facebook and when they were asked to delete. did they or did they not? we are joined by the chief strategy officer with insights. he joins us on the phone. what do you make -- how bad of a situation is as for facebook? black eye for facebook. this continues to be that for investors. it continues a big worry for investors. go ahead. dan: yeah. this is a situation that the longer they stay quiet, the fire continues to grow. i think this cambridge and his speaks to that. overall, the worry is the more regularity area process there is, the more territory there is not just for facebook, but social media platform players. scarlet: why do you think it is we haven't heard charles sandberg or mark zuckerberg speak publicly on this yet? obviously, it is a developing situation. the problem is the more quiet it gets, the louder the brushfire gets. staying quiet has been to the detriment of the stock. is,more uncertainty

something that needs to be looked at and i think the question about cambridge analytica being tied to russia is something that is, as far as we know, loosely linked. it is not something that can be pinned down at the moment. host: last call, on the democratic line. the last two collars took my thunder, but let us go back to the banks -- the last took my thunder, but let's go back to the banks. the banks have all of your information. that is how most of your information gets out there, on facebook. tony? financial information is one of the few areas that is covered by law. what are laws covering happens with financial information, but we do not have a version of that that is comprehensive like that on social media sites. we have health information and some cases student information, but that is the big debate we are having now. host: as the debate moves forward, i hope you have -- we hope to have you on down on the road. tony romm is with the washington post, lee's oh --li the washington post reporting this afternoon facebook is indicating ceo mark zuckerberg will testify before congress. three congressional committees h

cambridge analytica, things do not look good. it is beyond a legend, you can see the evidence. as faris not clear whether cambridge analyt ica still hold this information. they deny strongly that based -- that they still have a data. is that one of the issues? >> yes it is one of the main issues. you could ask why facebook went into the offices to search the servers. if the data has already been wiped. the u.k. is keen on getting a warrant to go in and search the servers. they are clearly looking for something. it has wide implications. if you take it in isolation, perhaps they can manage it. there have been so many of the stories in the past few years. they had been in front of committees. the senior executives have to step up and answer some questions. matt: thank you very much. it is a broader story. i have to that google has a lot more information on me then facebook. twitter and instagram have info on me as well. probably hundreds of millions of people. there are a lot of companies impacted by this. the pound is holding gains above $1.40 after britain and the eu reached a deal on

far as back as 2016 when we heard from konstantin whose haven't's chief in russia. he implied he was told by the trump campaign that they were using cambridge analytica to go out and develop psycho types that would focus these information being produced down to the individual voter. cambridge analytica itself, alexander nicks, they have been marketing to other countries that they did this for the trump campaign. the truth's going to come out some point. >> and we know robert mueller probably know a lot more than we do. susan, you and i were talking before this. you have what i think is a key question yet unanswered about this. >> right. to malcolm's point. did cambridge analytica take the data and trump data and sell it to russia? the program we know that russia interviewed, it would be a very interesting way to getting data to them and cambridge analytica had to have a deal with the trump campaign that they could keep or sell the data. let's not forget, corey lewandowski wasn't edge charge of the operation when he left, it was jared kushner who has had conversations as we know and had to revise his disclosure reports several times with the russians. >> and there are peop

then facebook gets a bunch of promises that the data is deleted and as far as i can tell after the promises from cambridge analyticaesearchers there they completely forgot about the story, off the radar. >> they have company-wide meeting today. what needs to happen? >> i think people say why have we not heard anything from zuckerberg or sandberg and very deftly avoided criticism in the last three months of chaotic nightmares of facebook athey had great pr and questions of lawmakers both in the u.s. and the uk directed specifically towards them and mark zuckerberg. >> rapid fire every hour. >> yeah. nick, thank you. >> thank you. >>> well, ahead, we return to puerto rico, exactly six months after hurricane maria devastated the island. david will show us the struggle to restore power to everyone before the next hurricane season. >>> and we invite you to subscribe to the podcast. we'll get the news of the day, extended interviews and podcast originals. find them all on itunes and podcast app. . ♪ seresto, seresto, seresto whatever your dog brings home to you, it shouldn't be fleas and ticks. seresto gives your dog 8 c

large to go away >> harvey, what was the improper usage as far as you can tell >> well, the improper usage is that this company cambridge analyticaceived data on about 50 million facebook users and attempted to use that in terms of a political campaign it doesn't really matter what the use was. facebook had already been sanctioned previously by the ftc. it has had data problems and it apparently knew about this for two years and yet the data was used for improper purposes >> sara, one of the things that has made this story kind of more attractive for everyone to cover is the potential links cambridge analytica had with the trump campaign but a campaign using social media data, a campaign trying to maximize the data that's available, is that anything that's actually to be ashamed of is it, in fact, something that previous obama campaigns have done itself as well? >> yeah. >> they have democrats and republicans alike use data to do more efficient job of targeting voters and communicating with voter on issues they care about there is a benefit to voters when the data is used as long as it's used properly and good data standards and

that we have heard nothing from him so far since this story broke a few days ago about the data breach and the involvement of cambridge analytica. i also think asre important, outstanding questions questions we have following the evidence session we had for facebook in washington last month. we asked them been expressly about their relationship with cambridge analytica. we asked them about the way in which developers can harvest user data from facebook, and the enforcement powers facebook has to get control of the data. i do not think we have received satisfactory answers to in of those questions, so i think it requires someone at the top of the companies whose job it is to know every detail, and he could not go through this properly. caroline: this misuse of data of 50 million or so users of facebook in the u.s., surrounding the 2016 presidential election, they are investigating potentially the role of social media within the u.k.'s vote to leave the e.u. do you think russian manipulation was done then? do you think that facebook is anything to answer regarding the brexit vote? damien: we know there was russian involvement during the brexit ca

as cambridge analytica claimed they have been. and this comes as the chris wylie, the whistleblower revealed there is far more than 50 million profilesor more on this, anna schechter. let's start with the case of colorado. what data is still out there and what does this say about what people are worried about at this point? this data is still floating around. >> absolutely. over 130,000 people have data personally about their personality, are they agreeable, open, neurotic. that kind of information on those voters helped cambridge analytica develop messages that would work for them to switch their vote to whichever candidate they were working for. >> you look at what facebook said since then, and tried to crack down and get this data deleted or reclaimed. what does this say about how the process is and how difficult it will be. >> it is extremely difficult for them to verify that in fact all of this data is under wraps and has been deleted. clearly it has not been. our u.k. partners have seen the data. in fact they used the data to find voters in colorado. they went knocking door-to-door. some of those voters say it is very unsettled

nothing from them so far since this story broke a few days ago about the data breach and involvement with cambridge analytica. i think there are important outstanding questions we have aslowing the session we had with facebook. we often express this about them relationship with cameras analytical. we estimate the way in which developers can harvest user data from facebook and about the enforcement powers facebook had to get back control of that data. our that we have received satisfactory answers to any of those questions. i think it requires someone at the top of the company who can go through this properly. >> this misuse of data is surrounded in the 2016 presidential election. do you think russia and regulation was done then? you think facebook has anything to answer regarding the brains about? >> we know there was russian involvement in the brexit campaign. this appears to be mostly in the american presidential election. that is something we are looking to map out. the u.k. information commissioner has our own information looking at the way data was used during preparation. i figure was used by russian agencies but also the official leave campaign as well. i think

as on top of the issues we should have been. >> not clear if that is going far enough for lawmakers or american people. zuckerberg said facebook plans to alert everyone whose data was accessed by cambridge analyticaith her interview with mark zuckerberg from the facebook headquarters in silicon valley. >> reporter: he does interviews rarely and only when he needs to do them. this is a very big week for facebook. a lot of folks asking where in the world is mark zuckerberg? why is he not speaking out? he spoke out with me here in menlo park at facebook campus. he started out by saying i'm sorry. take a listen. >> this is a major breach of trust. i'm really sorry this happened. we have a responsibility to protect people's data. if we don't do that, we don't deserve to serve people. >> reporter: cambridge analytica is part of the interview. we spoke with russian influence on the platform and what mark zuckerberg can do to protect us as we head to the mid-term elections. this was a wide ranging interview. mark doesn't like to talk about these things, but we are at a pivotal point where he feels a responsibility and he has to come forward. people wondering when he will speak out. you can check out the

far ahead of reporters. i'm not a journalist. i'm worried about all the little ill dots i see out from. it looks quite disturbing, actually. >> facebook says they've asked cambridge analytica to dry the data, asw the "new york times" says they were able to access that data. what concerns does that raise when we are months away from the mid-term elections in this country. who knows how it can be used ahead of the 2018 election? >> yeah, to me the bigger questions here are about the data security at facebook and facebook's procedures for ensuring the data it has on hundreds of millions of people in not accessed by commercial actors or folks who are trying to use it for political and that is that when it is not tho authorized. you can share on something to share your cookies, essentially, your information with anyone, whether it's a political campaign or a company that's trying to market some service or goods. what the concern here is, is that cambridge by presenting itself, having this gentleman present himself as an academic was able to access all this information that was not supposed toback saysible to political campaigns or to companies and use it for political purposes. facebook says it lo

but to your point, it's not clear that cambridge analytica did anything wrong what would facebook be suing them for >> they're probably in breach of contract as far as discovery, that's a minor issue. they'll have congressional investigations, they'll have parliamentary investigations the only reason they haven't sued them, it's too soon. >> this is part of facebook's business model a couple years ago it opened up the ability to access this personal data to these third-party developers. >> that's why nothing is going to change. regulation, i don't expect it in the united states. yes, there will be more in the eu, more fines in the eu this is cost benefit analyses. pay the fine and continue. >> eu wants to push back 20% of the market cap. they have nothing to lose but to go after these sorts of companies and political backing to do as well. >> it's a bigger slap on the wrist. i'm not buying in. when you look at equifax, that was worse information, information that was actually meant to be kept secret. what's happened to equifax nothing. do you think facebook when everything is supposed to be public-facing or almost everything is public-facing is g
