In the wake of the revelations that Trump campaign consultants Cambridge Analytica used data from 50 million Facebook users to target digital political advertising
during the 2016 US
presidential election, Facebook has lost billions in stock market
value, governments on both sides of the Atlantic have opened investigations, and a nascent social movement is calling on users to #DeleteFacebook.
The Facebook's co-founder and CEO lost $ 6.06 billion in stock
value, according to CNBC, when reports that Cambridge Analytica, a firm hired by Donald Trump's campaign
during the 2016 U.S.
presidential election, improperly used the social network's user data.
