Facebook suspended two more analytics firms for taking user data under false pretenses, according to Fortune.
One firm, AggregateIQ, has been tied to Cambridge Analytica, the company that made headlines in March for improperly harvesting the data of up to 87 million Facebook users for Donald Trump's 2016 election campaign. CubeYou was accused of administering personality quizzes on the social network for supposedly academic purposes but selling the results to commercial marketing clients.
AggregateIQ denied claims that it is associated with Cambridge Analytica, though the phone number of its president was once listed as a contact for the Canadian office of SCL Elections, Cambridge Analytica's parent company.
