The CBI has initiated a preliminary enquiry against Cambridge Analytica and Global Science Research for allegedly harvesting the personal data of Indians illegally from Facebook, officials said on Wednesday.
It is alleged that Cambridge Analytica received data from Global Science Research, which employed “illegal means” to harvest the personal data of Indians using Facebook, they said.
After receiving a reference in this regard from the Centre, the CBI has initiated the preliminary enquiry, which is normally the first step to decide whether the allegations deserve a full-blown investigation through an FIR or not, they said.
