Facebook Now Says up to 87 Million Users May Have Had Data Exploited

RadioOnFire.com - Facebook now says that up to 87 million users may have had their data exploited by Cambridge Analytica; original reports pegged the number closer to 50 million. Next Monday, Facebook will begin alerting users whose data has been improperly shared. Meanwhile, just weeks before its annual developer conference, Facebook is making sweeping changes to many of its most important APIs, and will stop sharing as much of your personal data with third-party apps and people outside of the service. The company also rewrote its terms of service and data policies. Here are the details. 

CEO Mark Zuckerberg also confirmed that all text and images sent via its Messenger service are scanned to ensure they are in line with community standards.
