The investigation of Facebook's role in the Cambridge Analytica Scandal is not over yet as FBI, the Securities and Exchange Commission(SEC), and the Federal Trade Commission(FTC) are also investigating.
Back in May, The New York Times reported that the FBI and DOJ are focusing on the political consulting firm, but it looks like the probe is way bigger than that.
The Federal Agencies are currently looking into any mismatch in the recent stories told by folks who were involved, plus Facebook's CEO's testimony to the Congress. The investigation is still ongoing and we can only wait for more info or developments to know if the agencies are going to decide to place a penalty on Facebook or file charges.

According to the The Washington Post , these Federal Investigators are working together to find out Facebook's involvement with Alexander Kogan's activities three years ago. Kogan is a researcher who built the Thisisyourdigitallife app, and it is this app that collected the data sold to Cambridge Analytica.  Investigators want to know what data was actually collected, under what conditions were they collected and why Facebook didn't notify the authorities and the general public if it knew anything about it.


Well, let's wait and see how these pans out.

Nobody wants to get frozen out of Facebook especially business owners and online marketers who harness Facebook's large audience to monetize their businesses The mistake people often make is that they fail to get acquainted with Facebook's Statement of Right And Responsibility , which is a very important section.  I am unfortunately one of those who have made this mistake in the past and what was the consequence? My 8-year old Facebook account got permanently disabled after tirelessly trying to recover it. Do you know how hurtful it is to lose something valuable to you? That was how I felt. As much as I felt so gutted and hurt at the time, I also wasn't entirely mad at Facebook because I knew it was totally my fault even though it appears Facebook have become ve

The Most Common Mistake Bloggers Make

Hi guys, I thought I'd quickly write about those common mistakes we make in blogging. I believe you would gain one or two things from this blog post even though this is covers mainly the first common blogging mistakes. Quitting Before You Even Really Start . This could be you. Or Maybe it hasn’t happened yet, but it could. Starting a blog and growing it into a profitable business is sort of like saying that you’ll drop 50 pounds in a year (except in the case of blogging you get to sit on the couch all day to achieve your goal). I keep telling my friends that It’s not something you can power through in a weekend. You have to stay consistent, motivated and dedicated to something for at least a year. Which I believe can be difficult to do when you have no signs in those early months that you’ll make it. In most cases, what happens to bloggers that quit during the beginning of blogging is that they dread having to figure out their tech problems, and sometimes they just
