>> In 2015, we learned that a psychology professor at the University of Cambridge named Dr. Aleksandr Kogan lied to us and violated our Platform Policies by passing data from an app that was using Facebook Login to SCL/Cambridge Analytica, a firm that does political, government and military work around the globe. He also passed that data to Christopher Wylie of Eunoia Technologies, Inc.

So basically FB's problem is that Kogan passed the data to third parties, without FB's knowledge and -I guess- without FB being in on the deal. Because FB's whole business model is to hoover up its user's data and sell it to "third parties".

Third parties who may then do with it whatever they like, without users having any control over it. You know- like Kogan just did.

FB is trying to pretend they're the responsible party in this - "Protecting peoples' information" is what they do, they say. Well, no it isn't. Trading peoples' information is at the heart of everything they do. And this is just one more example of why it is so harmful.
