(London) — The co-founder of Cambridge Analytica said the number could absolutely be higher than 87-million Facebook users whose data was taken and shared inappropriately. Appearing on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Christopher Wylie said he can’t say definitively that the Trump campaign used the data collected by Facebook, but thinks there is a substantial risk that the data was misused and it’s worth a serious investigation. Wylie adds it was quite clear early on that Steve Bannon absolutely wanted to use the information for Republican and alt-right candidates in the United States. According to Wylie, there’s a genuine risk that the data has been accessed by quite a few people and it could be stored in various parts of the world, including Russia.
