Ladies and gentlemen, Mark Zuckerberg has spoken

And it is that after all the revuelo that has been mounted with the case of Facebook and leaked data from more than 50 million people In benefits "not legal" for the election campaigns of the United States of 2016 or Brexit in the United Kingdom, the head of the social network comes to the fore to give his opinion on what happened and again promise that there will be changes so that this is not repeated.

Logically, there are many users who are still reluctant to believe that this could change and thousands more believe today that the most popular social network in the world is at that right moment to be permanently eliminated from their devices, in both cases is bad for Facebook.

Zuckerberg promises changes again

This is something that we have seen on other occasions and there have really been these changes in the social network, but of course, when you move such a quantity of confidential information from many millions of people it is really difficult to prevent what happened to Facebook from happening. In this case, as you already know, it is not a hacking of the information or a brute force attack to obtain the data, it is due to a problem with the data collection carried out by an academic from the University of Cambridge, Aleksandr Kogan, and which were then passed on to Cambridge Analytica.

In any case of the words that Zuckerberg finally spoke on his social network profile About what happened with these data and others, we are left with the following:

We will investigate all applications that have access to the data and further restrict access to this information for developers. We have a responsibility to protect your data, and if we can't, then we don't deserve to serve you. I have been working to understand exactly what happened and how to make sure this does not happen again.

In short, it has been the typical statement issued every time there is a problem with the social network, perhaps in this case the most important problem suffered by Facebook with the personal data of its users and also perhaps the one that will make rethink the deletion of the social network to millions of people around the world.
