Data Breaches by Facebook

INSTRUCTIONS:

Facebook came under public criticism in 2018 when the story broke that Cambridge Analytica, a date/consulting firm, obtained data regarding Facebook users without their knowledge or consent. It is estimated that 87 million users were affected and that the information likely included users' birth dates, page likes, and public profiles. There was also concern about Russia's use of social media platforms like Facebook to influence the American electorate.  Congress---under pressure to enact tighter regulations to protect the personal data of their constituents--called Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg to testify about its role in the data breach, its responsibility to users, and its commitment to work with Congress to prevent future breaches.  Write your thoughts regarding whether Facebook's role in and response to this controversy was ethical.  THIS IS A LAW PAPER WITH SOME POLITICAL IDEAS INVOLVED.  Please watch the video THE HIGHLIGHTS FROM MARK ZUCKERBERG'S MARATHON CONGRESSIONAL TESTIMONY  this video is available on Youtube Please give your own opinion and detailed analysis.
