Washington Attorney General Sues Zuckerberg Over Cambridge Analytica Scandal

The District of Columbia Prosecutor of the United States Capital Carl Racine sued Meta President Mark Zuckerberg in connection with the transfer of data to the analytics firm Cambridge Analytica.

Racine Zuckerberg is accused of being directly involved in decisions that led to the leak of personal data to millions of Facebook users as well as misleading users about privacy protection.

• "This unprecedented security breach revealed personal information to tens of millions of Americans

• and Zuckerberg's policies have allowed users to mislead for years about the extent of Facebook's wrongdoing"

Racine said.

• "The decision to sue Zuckerberg is based on the review of hundreds of thousands of documents produced during the ongoing case against Facebook

• as well as statements by Facebook managers, former employees and whistleblowers."

• The evidence shows that Zuckerberg was personally involved in Facebook's failure to protect the privacy and data of its users, which led directly to the Cambridge Analytica incident."

Facebook has been facing scrutiny over the Cambridge Analytica breach for years, and the FTC ordered the company to pay $5 billion in fines for privacy violations.
