  • Facebook Helped Obama Campaign?

    Ex-Obama Campaign Director Drops Bombshell Claim on Facebook: 'They Were on Our Side'

    A former Obama campaign official is claiming that Facebook knowingly allowed them to mine massive amounts of Facebook data — more than they would’ve allowed someone else to do — because they were supportive of the campaign.

    In a Sunday tweet thread, Carol Davidsen, former director of integration and media analytics for Obama for America, said the 2012 campaign led Facebook to “suck out the whole social graph” and target potential voters. They would then use that data to do things like append their email lists.
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                Like I said, nowadays we don't need to worry about "big brother" spying on us, we give away our private information in return for playing games and getting more likes and shares. We only have ourselves to blame. Facebook is only doing what we allow them to do. Who needs the NSA when you have Facebook?

                  Looks like Facebook has been turning a blind eye to this sort of thing for years. That's according to a former employee who says that these sorts of data breaches were routine but that Facebook remained wilfully ignorant to protect themselves legally.

                        Also we carry around microphones in our cell phones that can probably be remotely activated by the NSA.

                            and the new models have Siri or Google assistant that is always listening anyway.
