As of Monday 87 million facebook users who have shared their data with Cambridge Analytica will receive a message on their feeds. In addition, 2.2 billion users will receive a notice titles "Protecting your Information"-a link to see what apps they use and what info they share with those apps. This was said to be the worst invasion of privacy crisis on history. There have been allegations that the data-mining by the Trump administration may have been used the ill-gotten data to influence elections. CEO of Facebook, Mark Zuckerburg, has acknowledged that he made a "huge mistake". He is set to testify before Congress next week. So how did this all happen? In a facebook app, "This is your digital life," a personality quiz was created. The app vacuumed up data from the person who took the quiz as well as their friends.

I found this article interesting because this is where the veil is removed behind all the rumors of data collecting. People will have conspiracy's about the government watching them from their phones, but this is true evidence that companies will take advantage of our private information.
This article can be related to the fourth amendment that states, "the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue," Even though it doesn't say the internet since the internet was not created, but it would considered as part.
