Facebook suspends Canadian firm connected to Cambridge Analytica

Facebook has suspended AggregateIQ, a Canadian political consulting agency that has been linked to SCL, the parent company of Cambridge Analytica.

“In light of recent reports that AggregateIQ may be affiliated with SCL and may, as a result, have improperly received FB user data, we have added them to the list of entities we have suspended from our platform while we investigate. Our internal review continues, and we will cooperate fully with any investigations by regulatory authorities,” a Facebook spokesperson told the National Observer.
