About 3 million users used this application, but with the help of these 3 million users, about 5 million users were collected.
In 2015, when Cambridge Antalya's case was found to be the case, he cancelled the access to the company's social media platform and asked consumers to remove data, but the company did not waste it.
This data was later used for political purposes. After the theft of consumer data, the price of Facebook fell down and the company suffered a loss of billions of dollars.
update:
Facebook founder Mark Zuck Burg has issued a long statement in this regard. Although Mark Zuckerberg did not ask for forgiveness on this incident he acknowledged that the website was responsible for him.
Mark Zuckerberg congratulated that Cambridge Antalya, who had stolen data in 2013, has been discarded. He said that companies will be re-reviewed by consuming data before 2014. In 2014, Facebook had changed its diploma in this regard. Mark Zuckerberg said that the next month, he will introduce a tool that will help users know which data they have. Facebook's share has risen to $ 169.39 since the announcement.
