The scandal of the theft of data from Cambridge Analytica to the social network Facebook continues to increase, increasing the number of affected, rising from 50 million affected to more than 80 million affected.

The controversy over the privacy of Facebook users, after the Cambridge Analytica scandal, has been quite serious and the controversy does not seem to end anytime soon. Zuckerberg has developed new measures, which seek to further protect user data. A list of actions to be carried out has been developed, which includes, at the end, that confirms that 50 million users have not been affected, they are actually 87 million users, who have seen their privacy affected.

Mike Schroepfer, CTO of Facebook, has been the one who has published the actions that the company will implement to improve privacy. The 74% increase has also been highlighted, on the persons affected, according to the original data. In addition, the countries of the affected users have been revealed.

"In total, we believe that Facebook information for up to 87 million people, primarily in the US, may have been incorrectly shared with Cambridge Analytica."

This paragraph confirms that the data of a total of 87 million users have been stolen, which significantly increases the number of affected, which had initially been encrypted at 50 million people. Facebook, so far, has not been able to give an exact number of users, it is only based on estimates, according to the number of installations of the 'thisisyoutdigitallife' utility and the number of times that information has been shared with friends and relatives.

Most of those affected, 81%, are from the United States, but on the list there are countries such as Mexico and Canada, which have also been assaulted, in terms of privacy. Schroepfer also said that in the next few days they will inform users whose data have been compromised by Cambridge Analytica, as a 'sign of clarity'. No data was given, as Cambridge Analytica has managed to collect the data.

It is not the only scandal, since Zuckerberg has recognized that they scan all the messages of the Messenger application, or what is the same, they see conversations, photos, links and everything that passes through the application. According to the head of the social network, they do it to detect attacks or actions that incite violence. This scan is done with automated tools, which also allows to detect malware and viruses, child pornography, and anything that goes to the terms of service and conditions, this social network. Zuckerberg says this is done on every messaging service, so it would also be scanned on Instagram and WhatsApp.
