 Crystal Blower Christopher Wiley revealed this week that Cambridge Analytica used data from over 50 million Facebook users to influence the Brexit vote and the US presidential election. With a new data protection bill coming into effect in Ireland this May, Irish elections could also be susceptible to interference. New legislation going through the Eroctors could pave the way for companies to influence Irish elections by manipulating social media. Wiley asks students if they still trust Facebook. Actually, I don't really trust it that much now, like I never really trust it to be fair, like I've been had a few times, so yeah I don't really trust it that much, to be honest, yeah. No, definitely shouldn't, at the end of the day it is people's confidential data and it shouldn't be used to give companies or election campaigns advantages, I don't think. Yes, I guess, I never had any problems with Facebook, so till now, yeah. I don't know, I probably won't use it as much to be honest, or be careful how I use it if you get me like, because it's a bit weird that they know some stuff that they shouldn't know if you get me. The value of Facebook's shares has fallen by $40 billion, while Mark Zuckerberg has come under fire for selling $5 billion worth of his own shares since the start of the year.
