👽 Have you heard what is happening with Facebook? Apparently, the company's privacy policy allowed a third-party firm (namely Cambidge Analytica) to collect individual information on millions of people. This sensitive information was used to generate and test slogans for Trump's presidential campaign. Many of them (like "building the wall") were created and tested back in 2014, when Trump hadn't even announced his nomination. Therefore, the election was planned through big data analysis and each person heard exactly the information he/she wanted to hear according to their personal preferences. Hence, Facebook is experiencing major difficuties with society and shareholders right now.

So, why do we all know about it? Because of a whistle-blower.

Whistle-blower – an insider (person) who informs on another person or organization regarded as engaging in an unlawful or immoral activity.

One young man who had worked for Cambrigde Analytica, decided to come out with the truth and revealed how the company collected and used private information of millions of people.
