Cambridge-Analytica harvested Facebook data illegally

[SassyIrishLass]

Ya got him now!!!!!!! Number 297....lol

 

[Wry Catcher]

The liberal circle jerk in this thread is amusing. You clowns are going to be disappointed again.

Once again a Nostradamus wannabe makes a claim. I would think that Putin is smart enough not to hire agent provocateurs whose posts are foolish. I guess the BIG LIE requires numbers first and quality suffers.

 

[Papageorgio]

Yep, and it would appear that finally - Facebook grew a spine.
Facebook suspends Cambridge Analytica, a firm used by the Trump campaign, for misuse of data

And BTW, Mueller is on 'em like a cheap suit - the Russia intermediary? Bet on it!
Cambridge Analytica, the shady data firm that might be a key Trump-Russia link, explained

Time to throw the Mercer family in prison.

Between conspiring with a foreign adversary to money laundering to Obstruction of Justice....Mueller has a whole litany if charges he could bring against the crime family.

You really think he will go after the Clinton crime family? Whatever dude.

Off topic idiot-gram ^^^

Can't take a joke dumb ass? You are a sad hateful lefty. I hope I didn't cause too much distress in your pathetic hate filled life.

For Christ sake, when Obama does it it's good, when Trump does it it's bad...what a bunch of fricken idiots.

A joke? Oh, ok: "ha ha", still off topic, not substantive and tantamount to a "lock he up" chant.

 

[HappyJoy]

They also had non-American citizens working for the Trump campaign, which is illegal.

This could be the Russian link Mueller is after.

Why so impatient? If charges are brought by Mueller then mostly it will happen after the midterms.

I think what Cambridge Analytica has done here is chilling, but we only seem to be outraged because it is political targeting instead of the normal sell-me-a-pair-of-shoes ad targeting. At least it seems that way to me.
I don't know what kind of "personal information" was on FB for C.A. to take, but I think the important take away here is, there are a lot of people out there who want to manipulate us. So be smart. Don't let them. Think for yourself.

Yikes, was it just as chilling when Obama did it?

It's always chilling, but it's also a fact of life. Ad execs and folks like C.A. are experts at figuring out what we want to hear and manipulating us.
Subaru sells its cars to the family man.
Volvo sells its cars to the man who wants to be sexy as hell and free to roam, not chained to a cubby 40 hours a week. They should go to hell for riding Whitman's tails, though.

I agree it is very chilling, although the Obama campaign was praised for doing the same thing.

Except Obama did not post Fake News like these trump idiots did. If they used Wikileaks data.....Mueller will find it and the crime family will go down.

Yeah but Facebook gave data to democrats as does just about every social media outlet.

As the song says “There’s no limit to the depths you can sink to”.

In 1992, when Donald J. Trump walked away from his first bankruptcy with $40 million in his pockets while his small investors lost everything, I knew this was a man of no character and morals.

While his business practices have anyways been legal but just morally questionable. His practice of bullying small contractors to accept less after the work makes my blood boil. I worked in large scale construction finance and law and I know how it works. This verges on fraud.

Subtrades basically do the work on faith they will be paid. They buy the materials and do the labour. Honest contractors pay them when they get draws. Dishonest contractors jolly them along with partial payments. All of a contractors’ profit is in the final payment. The small company owner has shelled out money for supplies and labour, often borrowing from their banker to complete the project. Trump jollies them along as they fall deeper into debt completing his project. When they present their final bill, it’s too much, the work, which passed inspection and code isn’t “to acceptable standards”. The subtrades is forced to sue, but he’s in debt and really needs the money so he settles for less - a lot less.

Trump has ruined a lot of smaller subtrades with this crap. This is how he built his billions. By using his wealth to bully others.

Donald Trump has never declared bankruptcy liar.

You stupid dupe.

Real estate investors incorporate a new company for each project. That way if one goes down, it doesn’t take the whole business down with it. Donald Trump’s corporations have declared bankruptcy 7 times. This is a record for any real estate developer in history.

He not only went bankrupt, he did so in the 1990’s when only the wilfully stupid were losing money in real estate. And he did so while operating casinos. A casino license is virtually a license to print money.

Each time a Trump business filed for bankruptcy, Donald makes money and everyone else loses.

 

[Witchit]

Sure, Zuckerberg. Is the stock still dropping? Would you have a different answer if it weren't?

Zuckerberg says Facebook 'made mistakes' on Cambridge Analytica

 

[Witchit]

And he won't apologize. Well, not a problem. There was MySpace before him, and apparently there will be another platform after him. MySpace still exists, and so will Facebook - they'll just be a shell of the company they once were.

Mark Zuckerberg promises changes after Facebook data scandal, but does not apologize

fter days of silence, Facebook Inc. Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg outlined the company’s response to the Cambridge Analytica data controversy Wednesday without apologizing or agreeing to testify before U.S. and European lawmakers.

“We have a responsibility to protect your data, and if we can’t then we don’t deserve to serve you.” Zuckerberg wrote in a Facebook post. “I’ve been working to understand exactly what happened and how to make sure this doesn’t happen again.”

Don’t miss: The shocking details you reveal about yourself when you ‘like’ things on Facebook

In a 935-word written statement, Zuckerberg described three broad initiatives Facebook FB, +0.20% would undertake to address the growing international fervor over the improper handling of the data from about 50 million accounts. Broadly, the CEO said Facebook would investigate apps on its platform that had access to large amounts of data before 2014, when the company turned off that access. Developers who do not agree to an audit will be banned from the platform, Zuckerberg said.

For developers using Facebook’s platform, Zuckerberg said the company will further restrict their access and give access to less data without users’ express consent. To give users a better understanding of what apps can access their data, the company will place a tool in the news feed that will show members what apps are using their data and give them an easy way to block an app, the CEO said.

He is so very excellent at closing the barn door after all the livestock have escaped.

Now the snowflakes try to twist it around saying fakebook rigged it to help Trump win? That's the stupidest hot take from the DNC nut who believes it.

 

[conserveguy877]

WOW, this is getting DEEP...

The admissions were recorded during a probe into the firm, which was hired by President Trump’s 2016 campaign.
