This episode is a summary in plain English of the different data breach "scandals" that Facebook experienced over the last 11 months. 

In it, I cover the following:

• Cambridge Analytica - what happened and how did the data for 87 million accounts get out?

• Removal of Facebook Ad Targeting Categories using 3rd party data-mining and how that affected the real estate industry's ads

• The latest revelation of 250 pages of sensitive documents that were shared online showing more information about possible consent and data privacy issues within Facebook and their partnerships

• Why people are still sticking with Facebook
