Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has responded at last to the Cambridge Analytica scandal that has rocked the social network in just about every way possible, from users closing accounts to a steep drop in its stock price. The high-profile Facebook founder first posted a long backgrounder on his own Facebook page, then took to the airwaves and interwebs in a series of interviews with the New York Times, Wired, CNN, and others. His bottom line response: He’s very sorry about all this, and Facebook will work to make sure it doesn’t happen again. Zuck reiterated his previous explanation that the initial request for data on 50 million Facebook users was a legit request that they honored, but it was what happened AFTER the data was out of their hands that has resulted in the PR disaster.
