By the end of March this year, the company was under 28-year-old former employee Christopher Wylie. Prosecutors steal data from tens of millions of Facebook users to serve the election. The case was so serious, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg had to apologize to the user and testify before the US Congress. Cambridge Analytica CEO Alexander Nix also resigned a few days later when reports appeared that he was planning to "trap" politicians for customers.
