The Company has filed applications to begin insolvency proceedings in the UK, Cambridge Analytica said in a statement.
公司已经在英国申请进入破产保护程序，剑桥分析公司在一份声明中说道。
The statement also pushed back against widespread allegations that the company had improperly obtained Facebook user data to craft targeted advertisements, saying it “has been the subject of numerous unfounded accusations and, despite the Company’s efforts to correct the record, has been vilified for activities that are not only legal, but also widely accepted as a standard component of online advertising in both the political and commercial arenas”.
大量指控称该公司不正当地获取了脸书用户信息并制作有针对性的广告，而该声明否认了这一指控并表示，“剑桥分析公司已成为众多无端指责的对象。虽然公司努力弥补，但它已被诽谤在政治和商业领域从事非法且被广泛认为是在线广告的商业活动。”
The company, which was retained by Donald Trump's presidential campaign, has come under tremendous pressure after it was revealed to have obtained data associated with up to 87 million Facebook users.

剑桥分析公司的政治监视还蔓延至大西洋两岸，检举者克里斯多夫·怀利宣称，一家与剑桥分析公司的母公司SCL集团有关的加拿大企业AggregateIQ公司参与支持了英国脱欧的官方运动。
