The Facebook and Cambridge Analytica scandal doesn't look like it's ending anytime soon. The social network continues to experience the consequences of the violation of privacy and possible influence on the choices that these actions have had. For this reason, they are seeing how their shares plummet and how many users decide to leave the social network. The last of them Elon Musk.
Although it seemed like a joke, andThe creator of Tesla and SpaceX made the decision to close the pages on the social network of both businesses. He did it after a user on Twitter said he did not dare to do so. But indeed, Elon Musk dared.
A few minutes later it was possible to see how the pages of both Tesla and SpaceX had disappeared from Facebook. Both had more than two million followers. But now they no longer exist. Users will simply see a message that such a page does not exist.
I did not realize there was one. Will.

Although the social network has an option that allows you to disable a page but without losing its publications or its followers. So it could be that Elon Musk has opted for this option. But the reality is that you can't see the Tesla and Space X pages on Facebook.
At first, this would seem like a minor action. But, more and more important people are joining the boycott of the social network. On Twitter, the hashtag #DeleteFacebook has been a trending topic for several days. We see that thousands of people are tired of the social network and close their accounts. Also some businesses.
Undoubtedly, Facebook's image has been badly damaged by this scandal. Furthermore, Mark Zuckerberg's response has been late and it has not been enough. So we must be attentive to how this story evolves. Because the social network is going through its most critical moment today. Will they get out of it?
