EDINBURGH — A year after Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg apologised profusely to social media users for private data breaches, it has emerged that Facebook is still spying on you. In an in-depth feature, The Wall Street Journal sets out how Facebook stealthily steals your secrets through apps. Last year Facebook took out full-page ads in British and US newspapers to apologise for the Cambridge Analytica scandal, which entailed Facebook selling information about 50m people or so in order to help politicians strategise around election campaigns. At the time, Zuckerberg indicated remorse and told the world he would fix the problem. But, as The Wall Street Journal investigation shows, Facebook is still struggling to protect privacy. – Jackie Cameron
