Facebook literally gave away details of over 50 million of its users to Cambridge Analytica, a data mining company that also manages elections. What kind of elections? Donald Trump’s murky ascend to the White House, for example.

It also has an Indian wing named Ovleno, which provided data from your FB profile to the BJP, Congress, and possibly AAP, so they could influence the outcome of the elections.

Also, FB knew about this way back in 2015. It’s taken them this long to react.

Is it time to delete your FB account? Can you, really? That’s for you to decide.
