Facebook is back.

Cambridge Analytica, whose clients included Donald Trump's presidential campaign, sought information on Facebook users to build psychological profiles on a large portion of the U.S. electorate.
Shares plunged 13 per cent on the revelation in March.
On the New York Stock Exchange on Friday, Facebook shares were changing hands at $185.79 US, up 26 cents from Thursday's close.
On Thursday, Democrats on the House intelligence committee released more than 3,500 Facebook ads that were created or promoted by a Russian internet agency.
