In the past few days, Facebook is facing the biggest information scandal in social networking history when selling data of more than 50 million third-party users, Cambridge Analytica - a data analytics company. There are offices in the UK and the US. And the man who bravely stood up to tell the truth, dare to confront the "big man" Facebook is Christopher Wylie, who worked for Cambridge Analytica himself in the position of researching and analyzing data. Feeling ashamed and regretful of what he had done at that time, Wylie decided to tell this truth.
Christopher Wylie.
In stark contrast to the image of a rebellious boy who likes to show off, Wylie is truly a talent rarely seen not only in technology but also very good in other areas such as politics and fashion.
1. The 14-year-old has personally sued the Ministry of Education
Wylie was born and raised in British Columbia, Canada. Since age 6, Wylie has been abused by an unstable neurotic person. Although the law has been investigated, because the culprit has evidence to support his illness, Wylie's parents are under pressure and difficulty in reclaiming justice.
Until Wylie was 14 years old, the memory of that dark childhood still clung to him. That's why Wylie is determined to change the state of school violence and the ways in which it relates to it. In a related lawsuit, the Department of Education in British Columbia was unable to win the 14-year-old's argument and had to change his policy.
2. Leaving school at age 16, still succeeding in many fields
Since childhood, Wylie has been diagnosed with ADHD (syndrome of hyperactivity disorder) and dyslexia. After experiencing many problems, Wylie dropped out of school at the age of 16. However, with the knowledge of the Internet Wylie proved her ability in the political world. At 17, Wylie applied for internship at the office of the opposition leader in Canada. During this time, Wylie gradually learned about political analysis. By the age of 19, Wylie had been studying for herself. At the age of 20 he entered law school at the London School of Economics.
