I'm no fan of Facebook's privacy practices, but the current hysteria is ridiculous. Let's stop looking for scapegoats for the 2016 election result and focus on the real problems.

What is your summary of the real problems? I'd like to know whether an IRB approved the study and subsequent transfer of data. If not, I'd like to know what sanctions will be applied to the researcher. Are there more "academic studies" like this?
The real problems are the things that caused people to vote for Trump: their lives aren't getting better, they're sick of political correctness, they're disillusioned with the political class, etc. Whether a researcher got an IRB is utterly insignificant in comparison.

This is false dichotomy: they are both important. The argument "Why are you focusing on <insert concern here> when there is <insert bigger thing here>" isn't a logical one. Fixing why people voted for Trump is crucial. And so is avoiding vote manipulation. It's not either/or.

I was focusing on the technical and academic questions rather than the political. I have two thoughts regarding politics. 1/

Historians, eg
@Peter_Turchin, emphasize the extent to which the elites are at war with each other and mis-lead the rest of society. It is the elites that invaded Iraq, failed to punish Wall Street for 2008, and continue to redistribute wealth upward. 2/ - Näytä vastaukset

I'm not American so it always strikes me as a bit odd when people try to "explain" the election result in the way you do when the truth is Hillary Clinton got 3 million more votes than Trump. Explain why more Americans wanted her as their president than Trump.
