NEW YORK: Mark Zuckerberg, founder of giant social network Facebook, has admitted the  mistakes over the Cambridge Analytica scandal.

After admitting that the giant social network made mistakes, Mark Zuckerberg pledged to introduce changes that would make it harder for third-party apps to "harvest" users' information.

A "breach of trust" between app creator Aleksandr Kogan, Cambridge Analytica and Facebook had occurred, he said adding that it was also a breach of trust "between Facebook and the people who share their data with us".

"I started Facebook, and at the end of the day I'm responsible for what happens on our platform," Mr Zuckerberg said in a statement on his Facebook page.
