The 2018 Facebook–Cambridge Analytica scandal revealed how millions of users’ personal data were exploited for political profiling due to reliance on unencrypted, accessible information. What began as behavioral analysis quickly became one of the most significant privacy breaches of the decade. If Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) had been in place, this could have been avoided. With @zama technology, Facebook could have analyzed user behavior, ad performance, and engagement without ever decrypting sensitive data. Third parties such as Cambridge Analytica would only access encrypted insights not the raw data behind them. How FHE works: it enables computation directly on encrypted data, producing meaningful results while keeping the underlying information private. Imagine conducting analytics inside a locked vaultonly the conclusions leave, while the data remains protected. zama leads this innovation, delivering open source FHE solutions for blockchain, DeFi, and AI systems.
