Facebook suspends data firm hired by UK's Vote Leave over alleged Cambridge Analytica ties

Facebook announced it had suspended AggregateIQ (AIQ) from its platform following reports the company may be connected to Cambridge Analytica’s parent company, SCL.. AIG is a Canadian data firm with which the official Vote Leave campaign spent 40% of its budget. “In light of recent reports that AggregateIQ may be affiliated with SCL and may, as a result, have improperly received FB user data, we have added them to the list of entities we have suspended from our platform while we investigate," said Fqacebook. “Our internal review continues, and we will cooperate fully with any investigations by regulatory authorities.”
