> In 2015, we learned that a psychology professor at the University of Cambridge named Dr. Aleksandr Kogan lied to us and violated our Platform Policies by passing data from an app that was using Facebook Login to SCL/Cambridge Analytica, a firm that does political, government and military work around the globe.

I guess Facebook is mad that Aleksandr Kogan profited from selling Facebook user info without Facebook taking a cut.



i wouldn't be surprised to hear that FB was at the same time also selling data directly to CA, such are the times in which we live
