"Facebook is to appeal the £500,000 fine handed down in October by the UK's Information Commissioner's Office over the data-harvesting scandal."
'Cambridge Analytica approached Kogan to make use of this loophole before it closed. '
'"Therefore, the core of the ICO's argument no longer relates to the events involving Cambridge Analytica."', "The penalty – the highest the ICO was able to dole out for the firm's part in the Cambridge Analytica scandal because it took place before GDPR kicked in – equates to about 18 minutes of profit for the firm."
'The ICO said when it handed down the fine that, on the information it had, "it is not possible to determine" if Facebook's assertion that only US resident's data was shared with Cambridge Analytica is correct. '
