Facebook

Facebook is a social media website that allows users to connect and share information about their lives with friends and family. It was created in 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg, and has evolved in many ways over the years that it has been active.

On March 17, 2018, it was revealed that Facebook had security vulnerabilities that allowed for a data mining company called Cambridge Analytica to harvest profiles and private user information to influence the American 2016 presidential election.
