Prof. Dr. Heiko Beier - Is it Facebook's End Game? Why Social Networks as we know them Today will not Survive
The real problem behind the recent Facebook scandal is not primarily that a company like Cambridge Analytica has "gained" access to the personal information of millions of Facebook users and misused them for political manipulation.
