Mark Zuckerberg will address the Cambridge Analytica scandal soon

 

Thus far, Facebook leadership has been largely silent about the ongoing Cambridge Analytica scandal – a fact that's disturbing to many of the service's millions of users. Most troubling is the lack of a statement from CEO Mark Zuckerberg, but that could change soon. NBC News is reporting that Zuckerberg will speak publicly about the incident for the first time in the next 24 hours or so, with a focus on "rebuilding trust."

 

This public statement will come after days of controversy and public scrutiny into how data-mining firm Cambridge Analytica came into possession of information on some 50 million Facebook users. That data was allegedly provided to the Trump campaign to help it secure a place in the White House in 2016. Since the news broke late last Friday, Facebook has been under fire from Congress, the FTC, the Attorneys General of Massachusetts and New York, the UK's Information Commissioner and – of course – the public.

 

We'll have to wait and see whether his statements can slow Facebook's declining stock price and reassure troubled users, but the cries of #DeleteFacebook appear to be louder than ever.

Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg are quietly freaking out about the Cambridge Analytica scandal and pulling late nights behind the scenes (FB)

 

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and COO Sheryl Sandberg have not commented on the Cambridge Analytica scandal, but Zuckerberg appears set to break his silence in the next 24 hours.

The data leakage has cost Facebook tens of billions of dollars in market value since news of it broke over the weekend.

Zuckerberg and Sandberg are aware of the problem and have been working late into the night on their response, according to Wired.

"Mark, Sheryl, and their teams are working around the clock to get all the facts and take the appropriate action moving forward," a Facebook representative told Business Insider.

 

Mark Zuckerberg is preparing to break his silence on the Cambridge Analytica scandal in the next 24 hours.

 

Facebook has been rocked since news broke on Friday that the social media giant was banning the British data company Cambridge Analytica β€” which has ties to Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign β€” for obtaining information from as many as 50 million Facebook profiles by abusing Facebook's data-sharing features.

 

Those who have not yet commented publicly on the matter include the two most important people at Facebook: CEO Mark Zuckerberg and COO Sheryl Sandberg
