Facebook's Data Scandal Deepens
Mark Zuckerberg reveals almost all users could have had details "scraped" by others.
Chief executive Mark Zuckerberg tells reporters even more people had their data passed to political consultancy Cambridge Analytica than previously thought, and almost all Facebook users could have had data from their public profile "scraped" by "malicious actors". Plus, Microsoft claims a breakthrough on the road to quantum computing. And a new OECD report forecasts that fewer people's jobs are likely to be destroyed by artificial intelligence and robots than was suggested by a much-cited 2013 Oxford University study. Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones, with BBC tech reporter Chris Foxx, and special guest Rowland Manthorpe, senior editor at Wired UK.
