Breaking days of silence, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has admitted to mistakes in handling user data and has vowed to take steps to better protect user privacy.
The social media giant has come under fire in a data scandal, with claims saying British firm Cambridge Analytica, harvested the data of 50 million users without authorization. The UK company is also believed to have links to Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.
In an interview with CNN, Zuckerberg apologized for what he described as a "breach of trust." He said Facebook should have never trusted the company in 2015. Zuckerberg also said he's sure someone is trying to meddle in elections using Facebook right now.
