Facebook is under increasing pressure to explain how data collected on 50m users were exploited for political gain, following claims that data firm Cambridge Analytica used the leaked information to help Donald Trump win the US presidency.
Facebook正受到越來越大的壓力，要求其解釋5000萬用戶被收集的數據是如何被用於謀取政治利益的。此前有說法稱，數據公司劍橋分析(Cambridge Analytica)曾利用這些洩露的信息幫助唐納德•特朗普(Donald Trump)贏得美國總統大選。
Politicians on both sides of the Atlantic are calling on the social network to reveal more information on how Cambridge Analytica, which has close ties to Steve Bannon, Mr Trump’s former chief strategist, harvested data of US voters.
大西洋兩岸的政界人士都在呼籲這家社交網絡公司交代更多信息，說明與特朗普前首席策略師史蒂夫•班農(Steve Bannon)關係密切的劍橋分析，究竟是如何採集美國選民數據的。
British MP Damian Collins has asked Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s chief executive, to personally testify in an investigation into how the social network was also used in political campaigns including the Brexit referendum.
英國議員達米安•柯林斯(Damian Collins)已要求Facebook首席執行官馬克•扎克伯格(Mark Zuckerberg)在一項調查中親自作證——調查的目的在於弄清楚這家社交網絡公司是如何也被用於政治宣傳活動（包括英國退歐公投）的。
Mr Collins said it was time for Mr Zuckerberg to “stop hiding behind his Facebook page”.
柯林斯表示，扎克伯格是時候“停止躲在他的Facebook頁面背後”了。
Mr Collins yesterday accused Alexander Nix, Cambridge Analytica’s chief executive, of “deliberately misleading” a committee hearing last month when he told parliament that his firm did not use any Facebook data. Mr Nix told the FT at the weekend that he stood by his comments, despite a former employee turned whistleblower claiming he had evidence to the contrary.
昨日，柯林斯指控劍橋分析的首席執行官亞歷山大•尼克斯(Alexander Nix)“蓄意誤導”一個委員會的聽證會，因為他在上月告訴議會，他的公司未曾使用Facebook的任何數據。尼克斯在週末告訴英國《金融時報》，他堅持自己的說法，儘管一名前僱員變成了告密者，稱自己擁有相反的證據。
