A.G. BARBARA UNDERWOOD STATEMENT ON FACEBOOK INVESTIGATION
“The news that Facebook struck ‘data-sharing’ partnerships with other corporations is yet another reminder of the many questions that remain unanswered – questions to which New Yorkers deserve clear answers.
Consumers have the right to know how their personal information is being used; and the companies we trust with our information have a critical responsibility to protect it.
Our investigation into the reported misuse of Facebook user data by Cambridge Analytica and others remains ongoing – including into these ‘data-sharing’ partnerships. We’re committed to getting to the bottom of what happened.â€
