Abstract

The article presents the author’s views on the question of programming programming languages as an idea with significant educational implications and looks into the Cambridge Analytica and Facebook scandal. Topics discussed include the claim that political data firm Cambridge Analytica used personal data from the social networking site Facebook to profile voters, Facebook's failure to notify users whose data had been collected, and Facebook's reaction over its protection of user data.
