Facebook had actually asked medical facilities to share anonymized information about the condition and prescriptions of their clients for a research study job, according to a CNBC report.

However, the story goes on to state the job never ever passed by the preparation phases after the Cambridge Analytica scandal highlighted public issues over the stability of users’ info.

“This work has not progressed past the planning phase, and we have not received, shared or analyzed anyone’s data,” a Facebook representative informed CNBC.

The “top secret” job was supposedly headed by an interventional cardiologist called Freddy Abnousi who was charged with examining whether Facebook info might “improve patient care, initially with a focus on cardiovascular health.”

Yesterday Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg accepted duty for research study company Cambridge Analytica jeopardizing the information of 87 million member profiles.

Facebook did not instantly react to CNET’s ask for remark.
