Facebook has booted AggregateIQ, the Canadian election consulting firm that built data tools for sketchy election firm Cambridge Analytica, this week on the grounds that it may have received some of the extensive data on 87 million Facebook users the latter company received through a partnership with an app. Per the National Observer, after AggregateIQ was publicly linked to Cambridge Analytica via multiple news reports, Facebook has chosen to suspend its accounts.
