Facebook launched today the appearance of a feature to some users that will inform them if their data was leaked in the much-maligned Cambridge Analytica scandal.
Facebook has promised to alert users whose data may have been used for political gain.
According to Wired, starting at 7 A.M. on Tuesday, some Facebook users will begin to see two messages on top of it their news feed. One message will refer to Cambridge Analytica, while the other will focus on privacy, data, and control of the applications they use on Facebook.
So if you or a Facebook friend had tried the "This is Your Digital Life" quiz used by Cambridge Analytica to steal data, you will see the following message:
"We have banned the page 'This is Your Digital Life', which one of your Facebook friends may have used. You can learn more about what happened and how you can remove any others application and page if you no longer want it to have access to your Facebook information.”
If Cambridge Analytica did not have access to your data, Facebook will take you to settings so you can better protect your information on the social network and its countless applications.
