Amul Creatively Adds Question 'Mark' in Zuckerberg's Congressional Hearing
Data of over 5.6 lakh Indian users were used, Facebook said in a statement earlier.
In the wake of Cambridge Analytica data breach scandal, Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg had to testify before the US senators. The social media giant was grilled about a number of things regarding Facebook's involvement in influencing public opinion during the 2016 Presidential elections with relevant ads. Social media monitored every move of the man, even naming his expressions during the tough session. And Amul could obviously not stop from showing off their creative side. Known for finding wit and humour in topical happenings, Amul has something to say about Mark and his not-so-happy-moments during the Congressional Hearings.
Quite cleverly, the title of their doodle - a scene from Mark during Congressional hearings - read 'Everybody Questions Mark?' Well, considering the developments everybody will naturally end up questioning Mark. And we have to say, Amul has once again nailed a topical ad, not to miss the emoji in the bubble!
The dairy brand took to Twitter sharing their doodle with the caption, "#Amul Topical: Facebook CEO faces tough questions in Congressional Hearings!"
Here is Amul's take on Facebook's involvement in Cambridge Analytica scandal:
Facebook is alleged to have let Cambridge Analytica use personal data of 87 million users. Data of over 5.6 lakh Indian users were used, Facebook said in a statement. India had the seventh-largest number of users affected, according to Facebook. Although the scandal to light, #DeleteFacebook was among top trends on Twitter. Popular celebrities and brands deleted their Facebook account pointing out that the social media did not adhere to their values.
