Although 311,127 Australians were invaded by the Cambridge Analytica data breach, only 53 of the country’s citizens took the Facebook quiz liable for extremely obtaining. And also using personal information, as reported by The Guardian. Similarly, 63,724 people in New Zealand were invaded, but only 10 New Zealanders downloaded the quiz.
It’s reasonable to guess many of the people in New Zealand and Australia were effect through a friend in their own country. But that’s perhaps far away from accounting for everyone. These numbers also exhibit the ripple effects from users friends abroad who granted consents to the personality quiz app, called this is your digital life.
