Facebook is expected Monday to begin notifying users whether their personal information may have been mined by Cambridge Analytica. Users whose data may have been improperly harvested by Cambridge Analytica can expect to receive an additional message like the one below:“We have banned the website ‘This Is Your Digital Life,’ which one of your friends used Facebook to log into. The social media giant admitted last week that data from up to 87 million of its users may have been shared with Cambridge Analytica ― although that figure, according to whistleblower Christopher Wylie, could be even higher. Facebook also suspended CubeYou, a data analytics firm, after CNBC reported that it was gathering user information through personal quizzes ― a tactic similar to the one that Cambridge Analytica used. “These are serious claims and we have suspended CubeYou from Facebook while we investigate them,” Ime Archibong, vice president of product partnerships at Facebook, said in a statement.
