According to a news report by CNBC, starting today, Monday 04/09/18, Facebook will display a link at the top of your news feed call "protecting your information." If your data was shared with Cambridge Analytica, a message above that link will let you know.
So far this a.m. I am yet to see this on my Facebook page.
Facebook disclosed last week that 87 million users' data possibly was compromised.

One thing I did find interesting on my Facebook page was an item called Photo Review which had an alert on it. I clicked on it and there was a photo which I was in attending a BJJ tournament this spring. I do not know the person but Facebook had identified me standing in the crowd.
Photo Review shows you photos you might be in, which are found using face recognition technology.
Now that's some scary stuff.
