A Twitter post by Dan Levy got my attention a few minutes ago.

Well, things are clearly developing on the Facebook data harvesting front. Wonder why #CambridgeAnalytica only closed US offices, I know the UK office/offices were raided already but are there any more out there? https://t.co/n1HQjMdDIs

After some digging, I found that multiple media outlets are reporting that Cambridge Analytica, the company at the center of the Facebook privacy scandal is shutting down. It seems to be all of the operations of the company and its parent company SCL Group are closing. But details are kind of scarce at the moment.

I’ll update this post as I get more information.

UPDATE: Gizmodo seems to have the most complete coverage that is constantly being updated.
