Facebook has suspended 200 apps for possible misuse of user data in the wake of the Cambridge Analytica scandal. It did not name the apps that have been suspended but said they would be subject to a more thorough investigation into how they handle user data. Facebook said it asked Cambridge Analytica to delete the data in 2015, but learned in March that this had not happened. Kogan has said he suspects thousands of other developers and data scientists used similar methods to gather information on Facebook users. Cambridge Analytica, which announced it was closing earlier this month, has denied misusing Facebook data for the Trump campaign, and maintains its employees behaved ethically and lawfully.
