Facebook has suspended around 200 apps as part of the internal investigation prompted by data misuse by Cambridge Analytica …

Reuters reports that the social network took the step after identifying apps which had access to ‘large quantities of user data.’

However, Facebook says that this doesn’t necessarily mean the apps did anything wrong.

Archibong said that the investigation was likely to run for some time.

Cambridge Analytica filed for bankruptcy after the scandal, but there is speculation that it may re-emerge under a new name.
