Cambridge Analytica insiders said the company didn't take the growing data scandal seriously, even in its final days and as investigators seized its servers. Most employees stuck around until the firm filed for bankruptcy. 3. Facebook is beginning to test a feature that would let Facebook Group admins charge a monthly fee for access to exclusive content.
