“NO LAW PREVENTING THE USE OF THESE SOCIAL-LISTENING SOFTWARE PLATFORMS FOR BEING MISUSED FOR POLITICAL GAIN!”

It's information that can be had so it's free speech. Anyone in the world can click on FR and read what's here and mine all of one person's posts. To use it is not illegal. You say it's being misused but that's because you don't want it used that way. You see what I mean?

[Lazamataz]

If a (Software) tool is commissioned and paid for by the government, then the misuse of that tool (for partisan political gain) is most assuredly against the law, or should be.
