Facebook suspended the account of AggregateIQ, a Canadian political consultancy firm, from its platform on Friday as the data scandal continues to unfold.

The social network giant made the decision following reports that AggregateIQ may be connected to SCL, the parent company of Cambridge Analytica. Therefore, there is a possibility that the Canadian firm improperly gained access and misused the personal data of FB users.

In a statement, Facebook said, “In light of recent reports that AggregateIQ may be affiliated with SCL and may as a result, have improperly received FB user data, we have added them to the list of entities we have suspended from our platform while we investigate.”

In addition, the social network giant said its internal review is ongoing. It is cooperating fully with any investigations by regulatory authorities. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is currently looking into Facebook’s privacy practices due to the Cambridge Analytica data scandal.

Canada’s privacy regulators investigating Facebook, AggregateIQ

On Thursday, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada and the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner for British Columbia announced a joint investigation into Facebook and AggregateIQ.

The Canadian regulators will review if both companies comply with the country’s personal information protection laws.

On Wednesday, Facebook said the personal data of up to 87 million people may have been improperly shared with Cambridge Analytica. Most of the affected users are in the United States. The number is higher than the original report of 50 million users.

Meanwhile, Cambridge Anaytica tweeted on Wednesday that it “licensed data from GSR for 30 million individuals, not 87 million. We did not receive more than 30 million records from research company GSR.”

In addition, the British political consulting firm also reiterated that data have been deleted from its file server. It also denied using the data during the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Cambridge Analytica helped Pres. Donald Trump win the election, according to media reports.

When Facebook contacted us to let us know the data had been improperly obtained, we immediately deleted the raw data from our file server, and began the process of searching for and removing any of its derivatives in our system.
