    Facebook has been fined £500,000 by the UK's data protection watchdog for its role in the Cambridge Analytica data scandal.

    The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) said Facebook had let a "serious breach" of the law take place.

    The fine is the maximum allowed under the old data protection rules that applied before GDPR took effect in May.

    The ICO said Facebook had given app developers access to people's data "without clear consent".
