Zuckerberg - Obama Campaign Scraped Data From Users Who Downloaded App – Also Users’ Friends Who...

Zuckerberg’s testimony does not address fully that Obama’s reelection campaign scraped data from users who downloaded the Obama 2012 app, and from those users’ friends.  The users’ friends did not give consent - these people were simply unaware their data was being used by the Obama campaign analytics.

The former director of Obama for America’s Integration and Media Analytics shop, explained that the political bias within Facebook allowed her to continue the use of Facebook user’s data without their consent.  Facebook had to realize they were violating the rights of their users but failed to care.

Here is Zuckerberg’s testimony before Congress and his excuse making statements:

Here is an excerpt:  “We face a number of important issues around privacy, safety, and democracy, and you will rightfully have some hard questions for me to answer. Before I talk about the steps we’re taking to address them, I want to talk about how we got here.

zuck only cares about Republicans who bought data from him, and he pretends to be scandalized and shocked, and won’t let the “data breach” happen again.
Bull$hit. He sold it willingly. He sold data to bammy’s boys and is trying to avoid going to jail for that.
A filthy liar.

Yep.....they’ll handle him with kid gloves...his opening statement that he was going to tell them was revealing all by itself.

I BET IT DID NOT STOP WITH THOSE FEW USERS DOWNLOADING OBAMA APP!!! I bet if asked, Zuckerberg would have to explain that (1) Yes, he did, and (2) just what info direct and indirectly shared with Obama and Clinton. Curious to here him also explain why he and Facebook have been recalling messages, deleting past communications. What are they trying to hide?

Do you think he sold that data to Obama? Or did he give it to them?

The Useful Idiot Zuckster is on the verge of tears while testifying.. Being a Leftist,

Notice how often he takes a drink?

He isn’t answering questions very well.

Actually Nelson is asking some good questions.
