MORE INFO FROM GAB:

Oh Dear!!...more bad news for the Zuck man...
Cambridge University researcher Aleksandr Kogan was behind an app that helped to harvest data from up to 87 million Facebook users.

He is taking social media founder Zuckerberg to court after the company said that he had lied about how the data was going to be used.

Zuckerberg and other executives have said Kogan told them the data was for academic purposes not political campaigns.

But Kogan’s lawyer, Steve Cohen, said: ‘Alex did not lie, Alex was not a fraud, Alex did not deceive them, this was not a scam.

‘Facebook knew exactly what this app was doing, or should have known. Facebook desperately needed a scapegoat, and Alex was their scapegoat.’

Great find!

I don’t know what the current countdown is for, but one of my top guesses is that it’s going to be when MZ/FB are dealt with. So it would not surprise me to see YUGE news about MZ/FB shortly.

One can hope. :-)

After the Twitter war last night, I think that may be a hint of internet things to come.
