Facebook was kicked out of Cambridge Analytica’s office while trying to ‘secure evidence’

The Cambridge Analytica saga has taken yet another dramatic and frankly alarming turn. 

Facebook sent a “digital forensics team” into Cambridge Analytica’s (CA) London office on Monday evening in an attempt to “secure evidence,” only to be kicked out following a “dramatic intervention” by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK’s data regulator. 

Following its intervention, the ICO announced it was seeking a warrant to search CA’s premises and Facebook’s so-called “audit” could “potentially compromise a regulatory investigation.”
