If only there was some way to make that Zuckerburg a$$hole give back all the money...

The amazing thing here is that most everything about Facebook by 2008, was laying out the path for massive usage of private data to affect elections and public opinion. You could see that being done in north African countries, and throughout the Middle East. You could see the applications being applied in 2011/2012 Russian elections.

So while they were busy manipulating the data....they never realized that other players were also looking at the data and going in the other direction.

To some degree (I certainly won’t give it more than 50-percent of the credit), Trump is President because of social media use. But the thing is....Hillary could have used the data as well, and we may find out in a month or two....that she also had such a company working on her social media crowd.

So now what? Will they legislate Facebook into a corner? Will the Facebook board terminate Zuckerberg as CEO and just make it an adviser? I’m of the mind for the whole political season of 2020....I will log out and refuse to use any social media for that entire period.

Zucker needs to be in jail, and FB fined 30 billion, and the money redistributed to Republicans.

Investors? People invest in Facebook? How does Facebook make money? Oh, yeah they sell data. To the government, it’s free.

While my Facebook friends know I am conservative, I have never gone there to promote my political views. These days I am mainly there to see what my family is up to, especially my grandchildren, or to promote my history podcast.

I gave up Facebook for Lent. Not sure I’ll go back.

Facebook failing, going bankrupt, and closing the company and web site down would be a positive for our country.
