Seems Trump used this data mining firm during his election campaign to target people on Facebook, using private info without authorization...company is now under investigation...

Big deal?

Probably not to Teflon Don

Cheat,cheat,cheat, it's the orange imbecile's MO.

Obama used them in 2012... 😟

Did Obama use the private info of 50 million people without their authorization?

Yes... 😟

Then tried to force crappy healthcare on them... 😟

An architect of the federal healthcare law said last year that a "lack of transparency" and the "stupidity of the American voter" helped Congress approve ObamaCare.

We had to pass it to see what was in it... 😟

Nice diversions.

Thanks man... I've been learnin Reeaall Gooood..... 😟

Yes the Democrats did this as well, and even bragged that the Republicans were too dumb and slow to do it. So when they find out they weren't they freak out and it's bad. Typical democRAT stuff.

Zrx very different scenario and data.

right leaning media all claim Obama and Trump did the same...

left leaning media says they're not - Obama did not use CA, but designed their own data mining program that adhered to privacy regs and required personal approval... Trump's use of CA was without authorization of persons targeted...

neutral news site (Reuters) says Trump's use of CA may have violated US elections laws and CEO of CA admitted to using questionable/unethical methods to woo customers...



IMHO: does it matter? prolly not...if some US voters are too lazy and gullible to fall prey to fake news and propaganda, blaming Trump will not help... we should expect each US voter to make learned decisions when they go to the ballot box and not trust info from only one source, even if the source is a "friend"....

Also gotta wonder if Trump or Obama personally knew this was happening... 😟

I think there was some data that was to have been destroyed that was not destroyed. I also think Bannon had some control/authority over it. Perhaps Kushner as well.

I've read from multiple varying sources from the right and the left about this and think there is more to find out. The thing I'm pretty certain of is what bammy did was apples, and what trump did is well.... orange. Two very different things and a false yea but equivalencey.

my heart is broken...Trump did not coin the phrase "Drain the Swamp".
It was tested out and then given to him...I guess by the hired guns.

However, I coined "Strain the Swamp" which is what ended up happening.

seeee.....like a genius...

but very immature

This isn’t a problem at all and it is notnillegal infact Obama used the same company to do the same thing during the 2012 election cycle, and everyone should know that all social media all companies mine your data and sell it hell your own state and local govts sell your voter data to companies like Cambridge analytics, all this will be is another Bull**** story used to try and smear the president by the MSM
