It’s going to be a busy day for Mark Zuckerberg following revelations that a political strategy and data firm working with the Trump campaign wrongly used data from 50 million Facebook users during the last election. Publications and politicians in both the United States and England have called for more scrutiny of the deal Facebook had with Cambridge Analytica, the firm founded by ex-Trump strategist Steve Bannon and GOP donor Robert Mercer.

Facebook stock has plunged by nearly ten percent and some users are fleeing the social media platform following the revelations, but Facebook has punched back, saying they’re the victim after  Cambridge Analytica misused the data they legitimately received. Cambridge Analytica is also now under the microscope after senior executives, including high-profile leader Alexander Nix, were recorded offering political dirty tricks for sale by UK news outlet Channel 4.

Nix and associates were caught on camera talking about using bribes, ex-spies, fake IDs and sex workers to put enemy politicians in compromising situations. It’s a complicated and still-developing story.
