        3 years ago, we made a Facebook app, which pulled all personal details about the users to make an alternate credit scorecard. Friends data, pictures, location data, likes and dislikes - This was a popular idea that found lot of traction with the VCs.

        There was nothing illegal, nor was this a technical hassle. Just a pattern matching job - where our job was to match real world affluence to social media footprint.

        Thankfully, business did not go this way and we pivoted to traditional data to make credit decisions.

        Their market tested ideas made their way into Russian propaganda. Their business is to radicalize psychology based on fear. They're involved in human trafficking. Their social network data + equifax (and visa) credit information + spectrum health leaks + voter rolls =
