Facebook’s privacy crisis was brought to light after the Observer reported that in 2013, a Cambridge University researcher Aleksandr Kogan had created an app and extracted data from 50 million people, and then shared it with Cambridge Analytica.
臉書的隱私權危機由《觀察家報》披露，2013年一位劍橋大學的研究者科根開發了一款應用程式，取得5000萬人的個資，接著和劍橋分析公司分享這些資料。

In his statement, Zuckerberg pledged to investigate “all apps that had access to large troves of personal data” before a change the company made in 2014 to restrict the information third-party apps could receive.

The CEO said that to ensure incidents like this will not happen again, the social media giant plans to further limit the amount of data third-party developers can access.
祖克柏表示，為了避免類似事件再次發生，臉書計畫進一步限制第三方開發者的數據使用量。
Facebook will also turn off data sharing for apps that haven’t been used for three months and move the tool that allows users to control the data they share from the Settings menu to the News Feed.
如果用戶在3個月內沒有使用某應用程式，臉書將會關閉數據分享的功能，也將把限制數據分享的工具從「設定」清單挪到「動態時報」。
However, Zuckerberg’s measured response to the Cambridge Analytica story is widely criticized for missing an explanation as to why Facebook enabled so much third-party access to its users’ information for so many years.
然而，祖克柏對劍橋分析事件謹慎的回應卻因為沒有解釋臉書為何曾多年允許第三方開發者取得用戶資訊，而廣受批評。
