After the elections, Bolton’s super PAC touted the voter targeting efforts it employed in 2014, calling them ‘‘the future of political advertising’’.

India’s government yesterday sent a notice to Cambridge Analytica asking whether it had misused data to profile Indians and influence the country’s elections.

The Indian government also demanded the names of the entities that engaged Cambridge Analytica, the method used by it for possession of data, and whether consent was taken from users.

The government set a March 31 deadline for the company to respond to its inquiry.

Earlier this week, India’s Law and Information Technology Minster Ravi Shankar Prasad warned Facebook of ‘‘stringent’’ action for any attempt to influence polls through data theft, and threatened to summon CEO Mark Zuckerberg, if needed.

The social media giant has over 200 million users in India.
