Keller Rohrback Continues to Investigate Allegations that Facebook Violated Facebook Users’ Privacy
Keller Rohrback’s continued investigation focuses on Facebook, Inc. and Cambridge Analytica’s alleged violation of Facebook users’ privacy, in which the private and personal profile information of 87 million Facebook users was allegedly obtained without the users’ consent or knowledge. Plaintiffs’ allege that Facebook failed to protect Facebook users’ private information from misuse or to properly notify users that their information had been compromised when Facebook learned of the unauthorized acquisition of users’ data, thereby putting users at risk of identity theft and further misuse of their information.
Facebook allegedly knew about the improper data collection in 2015 and failed to stop the activity or notify users until March 2018.
Cambridge Analytica allegedly collected the personal information of 87 million Facebook users, without authorization through the use of MyDigitalLife, a survey application deployed on Facebook. This application was marketed as a tool used by psychologists and claimed to help users better understand their personalities.
The MyDigitalLife application was downloaded by around 300,000 Facebook users and allegedly provided Cambridge Analytica and others access to the data of those individuals. Furthermore, MyDigitalLife also accessed the data of around 300,000 Facebook users’ Facebook friends, approximately 87 million additional people.

Please be aware that we cannot respond to questions as to whether any specific individual had their personal and private information compromised.
