      “‘Senior Palantir employees that were also working on the Facebook data,’ said Christopher Wylie, a data expert and Cambridge Analytica co-founder.” Palantir➡️“top contractor to American spy agencies and the Pentagon,” co-founded by Thiel who sits on Facebook’s board.¯\_(ツ)_/¯ https://twitter.com/nickconfessore/status/978807666196836352 …

      Also appears that Palantir employee suggested the quiz as a way to siphon off the data, i.e. they likely used the method themselves and probably have all the API-accessible data on Facebook’s entire population at the time. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      I get this whataboutism 100 times a day, so YES I DID WRITE CRITICALLY ABOUT DATA IN POLITICS IN 2012 even when it was benefiting Obama, and even people who did not do that can and should obviously raise concerns about all this now. https://twitter.com/happycycling03/status/978817646333431809 …

          Also worth noting there are distinct differences of what we know of CA etal operations & of Obama's campaign, like foreign citizens & companies handling data of 50+M Americans in US campaigns.

          A great way to determine if something is ethical is to project how the world would be if everyone did that thing - Kantian categorical imperative. It doesn't matter who is running the show, because too much access to private data is objectively bad.
