FACEBOOK boss Mark Zuckerberg should answer to Parliament over allegations that vote manipulation firm Cambridge Analytica harvested personal details from more than 50 million of his site’s users, a senior MP said today.

Digital, culture, media and sport committee chairman Damian Collins said he would be recalling Cambridge Analytica chief executive Alexander Nix over “false statements” made to the committee.

The data mining firm, which played a key role in analysing voter behaviour in the run-up to the 2016 EU referendum and US general election campaigns, was passed personal data from Facebook apps without the consent of the individuals, according to a whistleblower.
