Cambridge Analytica Bankruptcy and Phoneliness Study
Cambridge Analytica announced it is shutting down and filing for bankruptcy in the US and UK, blaming "unfairly negative" media coverage for the loss of its clients. Meanwhile, a study from San Francisco State University has coined the term "phoneliness" to describe the loneliness and anxiety caused by smartphone addiction. Researchers compare the neurological connections formed by heavy phone use to those seen in opioid addiction.
