Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

    Folks: Cambridge Analytica is not going to be the one unifying thread to this conspiracy. It's a hugely important story, CA and FB have a lot to answer for. But it's just one strand.

        CA might not merit being the unifying issue, but 1) this problem has been overlooked for a long time, and 2) everyone uses FB and so can imagine that they, personally, were victims (and with an identifiable negative effect). Upshot: I think this has legs.

        Absolutely. But let it have legs on its own right, that extends well beyond the 2016 election or even elections generally.

        It’s not an American scandal, either. The CA guys suggested on Channel 4 they had played a role in a couple of hundred elections globally. It concerns everyone.

        Yes, but. It says something like “Facebook will allow OFA to do the following...” and you can agree, cancel, or in some cases uncheck certain lines of the list. It’s not great, but it still qualifies as voluntary, opt-in. CA’s stolen DB snared 50M who didn’t opt in.

        I think “global cabal of oligarchs” is the strand. Maybe we can sic Palantir on ‘em.

        C.A./FB was military level psychological operation against citizens of USA. This & weaponized stolen hacked emails, troll farms & more is war. 2016 elections: illegitimate/trump is illegitimate/administration & everything it has done-illegit! Warfare! Trump/Putin must be ousted.

        absolutely. This whole story, if we ever get to the bottom of it, will have many offshoots, many of which will be totally unrelated but all will be either unethical, illegal or nefarious.
