Facebook managed to muzzle watchdog
 

Information Commissioner banned from talking about Cambridge Analytica audit

In a cunning legal move, Social Notworking site Facebook has managed to prevent the UK’s information commissioner talking to parliament.

Three years ago Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg promised to carry out an audit of his site during the Cambridge Analytica scandal. Parliament was a little interested how that all went and asked the information commissioner Elizabeth Denham.

However the a parliamentary subcommittee on online harms and disinformation was told by Denham about a secret arrangement between her office and Facebook which prevents her from publicly answering whether or not Facebook contacted the ICO about completing a much-trumpeted 'app audit'.
