Facebook Inc. is now in big trouble. It was known to be responsible for the data leakage of 87 million people all over the world, containing 87 thousand Koreans.
Facebook is a social networking company, and social networking companies often use their data to sell them to advertisement companies. However, how much they share the personal information is important. Facebook was known to have provided private information to CA (Cambridge Analytica), receiving tremendous money. Also, those data were used in Trump camp, two years ago, to help the candidate win votes.
One of the professors in CA made the application, named 'this is your digital life', the information of the people download this application, and their friends were leaked. Among 184 Koreans who are downloading this application, Facebook said that about 87 thousand Koreans, data may have leaked.
Because of this, the market capitalization of Facebook lowered sixteen percent. Moreover, many people started to delete the Facebook application in their phones, is a serious problem for the company.
Many other CEO's in other companies criticized Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook. Many other users are now requiring companies to promote their data's safety, not to happen the data leakage again. In this point, the behaviors of Mark Zuckerberg became important. He said that there was not anything important on CNN. With his statement, the stock price of Facebook slightly increased, but what Mark Zuckerberg would say in the hearing became important. His statement in the hearing conducted, would decide the future of the company.
Facebook even appeared to plan the other data-sharing project with ACC, but this was soon halted on being known. However, ACC told that the project that Facebook tried to perform was very useful for patients. Moreover, the critics contradicted the customers accept that in a different way.
