Hi, navymom,
In the news right now the media is proclaiming that the Trump campaign, “mined” data from facebook users using a company named Cambridge Analytica, to market to them.
The media is aghast that there was, “misuse” of that most holy of holies, facebook, to “invade” the privacy of the innocents. They are selectively outraged by the fact that the Trump people did this because Obama and pretty much everyone, has been looking to market to the internet since about 5 minutes after it was invented.
Of course Google and Microsoft and Apple do this too. Amazon, Yahoo...they all follow your searches and phone location and try to pigeonhole your interests in order to market to you; be it products or ideas. It’s only outrageous when conservatives do it though. I’m sure the governments of every country do this also. Hi NSA! Hi Interpol!
I hope this helps.
Thanks, it does!!
