With breaking news each day it was difficult to decide when to make the cut-off to produce this quick-take video about the implications of the Cambridge Analytica and Facebook data scandal for our operations. We produced it on 4 April 2018, knowing that the video will have a short shelf-life. However, below on this page you'll find some links to source information and the news as it unfolds in relation to what we're doing.
