Starting with a bug in 2013, Facebook has a history of data leaks. But the worst damage was done in 2014-15 when Cambridge Analytica accessed private data of five crore users, and used it to boost Donald Trump's presidential campaign. Facebook has already agreed to pay $725 million as penalty for the violation of privacy, but a judge has slapped it with another $1 million fine for gaslighting victims and the court.
