Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg took out a full-page advert in several UK newspapers to apologise for the Cambridge Analytica data scandal. Appearing in The Observer, The Mail on Sunday, Sunday Times, Sunday Telegraph, Sunday Mirror and Sunday Express, Zuckerberg said that a quiz app that appeared on the site in earlier this month harvested user data without their permission. It was a "breach of trust" and the company is taking steps to prevent it happening again, Zuckerberg said in the ad. Facebook has lost more than $60bn in market value since the scandal broke 2014.
