Mark Zuckerberg said on Wednesday that he has not fired any Facebook employees because of the Cambridge Analytica scandal.
In response to a question from Business Insider on a conference call asking if anyone had been fired over the revelation that a British data firm had taken user data from up to 87 million users or other data privacy issues, the Facebook CEO said that he has not fired anyone.
"I have not, due to the CA situation, yet," Zuckerberg said. "We're still working through this. At the end of the day, this is my responsibility. There have been a bunch of questions about that. I started this place, I run it, I’m responsible for what happens here."
