臉書泄露門後續：始作俑者宣佈破產！
Cambridge Analytica, the political consulting firm at the centre of a storm around misuse of Facebook user data, is shutting down and has filed for bankruptcy.
政治諮詢公司劍橋分析公司因盜用臉書用戶信息而處於風暴之中，如今該公司已停業並提交了破產申請。
The Company has filed applications to begin insolvency proceedings in the UK, Cambridge Analytica said in a statement.
公司已經在英國申請進入破產保護程序，劍橋分析公司在一份聲明中說道。
The statement also pushed back against widespread allegations that the company had improperly obtained Facebook user data to craft targeted advertisements, saying it “has been the subject of numerous unfounded accusations and, despite the Company’s efforts to correct the record, has been vilified for activities that are not only legal, but also widely accepted as a standard component of online advertising in both the political and commercial arenas”.
大量指控稱該公司不正當地獲取了臉書用戶信息並製作有針對性的廣告，而該聲明否認了這一指控並表示，“劍橋分析公司已成爲衆多無端指責的對象。雖然公司努力彌補，但它已被誹謗在政治和商業領域從事非法且被廣泛認爲是在線廣告的商業活動。”
The company, which was retained by Donald Trump's presidential campaign, has come under tremendous pressure after it was revealed to have obtained data associated with up to 87 million Facebook users.

劍橋分析公司的政治監視還蔓延至大西洋兩岸，檢舉者克里斯多夫·懷利宣稱，一家與劍橋分析公司的母公司SCL集團有關的加拿大企業AggregateIQ公司參與支持了英國脫歐的官方運動。
UK politicians have published documents showing that Cambridge Analytica had a tentative agreement to work with pro-Brexit group , and a former Cambridge Analytica employee said that the company had partnered with the campaign.
英國政客公佈的文件指明，劍橋分析公司與英國脫歐支持團隊Leave. EU（脫離歐盟）有暫定協議，而且劍橋分析公司的一位前員工表示，該公司參與了英國脫歐運動。
