The UK's Information Commissioner has formally fined Facebook £500,000 – the maximum available – over the Cambridge Analytica scandal.

In a monetary penalty notice issued this morning, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) stated that the social media network had broken two of the UK's legally binding data protection principles by allowing Cambridge academic Aleksandr Kogan to harvest 87 million Facebook users' personal data through an app disguised as an innocent online quiz.
