A self-described whistleblower on data firm Cambridge Analytica’s data harvesting practices is slated to give an interview to Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee.
Rep. Adam Schiff (Calif.), the top Democrat on the panel, tweeted that he was “glad” to hear that former Cambridge Analytica employee Christopher Wylie was willing to speak to the lawmakers.
Schiff has pressed the data firm over allegations that it obtained private Facebook information from more than 50 million people without their consent. Cambridge Analytica was suspended by Facebook on Friday, and the social media company is investigating whether the data still exists or has been destroyed.
