Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg said his data has also suffered in a privacy scandal that has affected millions of users of the social network.
Zuckerberg made these comments on the second day of his testimony in front of the American Senate.
He also said his company is considering whether to take measures against Cambridge University.
The researcher, who collected the data from Facebook users, sold it to the Cambridge Analytica marketing firm.
It has been discovered in recent weeks that Cambridge Analytica has had access to the profile information of some 87 million Facebook users.
Cambridge Analytica is known for its connections to the campaign of current United States President Donald Trump, and claims it played “an integral” stake in the Trump's victory, observes Atsh.
But, the company says none of the data involved in the recent scandal have been used to help Trump's campaign.
Zuckerberg apologized for the scandal.
