FACEBOOK admitted it should have told users earlier about a breach of its policies, when its Asia-Pacific vice- president of public policy appeared before Singapore's Select Committee on Deliberate Online Falsehoods on Thursday.
Quizzed by Home Affairs and Law Minister K Shanmugam on the alleged misuse of Facebook data by political consultancy Cambridge Analytica in the 2016 US presidential election, Mr Simon Milner agreed that Facebook did have a "moral obligation" to inform users earlier that their data had been breached between 2014 and 2015 by the British firm.
