suck is finally speaking out about Facebook's Cambridge analytic a scandal it only took him about five days give or take plus the two to three years Facebook knew about it and we didn't but who's counting let's break it down Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg posted a lengthy blog post on his profile page where he says the company has quote a responsibility to protect your data and if we can't then we don't deserve to serve you unquote he then dives into a timeline of events involving Cambridge analytical and its unauthorized access of about 50 million Facebook users data Zuckerberg also explained how Facebook plans to better protect users going forward first pointing to changes already made in 2014 to limit app access to profile information and then listing off these three planned initiatives to secure user data one investigate any app that had access to large quantities of information before that 2014 change and make sure there's nothing shady happening there to further restricting app access to user information in a variety of ways and three launching a tool in the near future to help users understand which apps have your data and exactly how much on top of Zuck explaining what happened from Facebook's point of view two other posts went live around the same time chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg posted a shorter statement on her page outlining the ideas put forth in Zuckerberg message and Facebook itself posted an official press release also detailing what it plans to do to keep user data safe going forward so what do you think of Facebook's plan is it enough or is it too little too late drop your thoughts down in the comments we have tons of Cambridge analytical coverage on CNET com if you need more information about this very crazy thing I'm Ashley it's gotta be good humans
