According to a USA Today analysis, members on this year’s House Energy and Commerce Committee have received roughly $381,000 in Facebook-related contributions since 2007 with the average Republican getting $6,800 and the average Democrat getting $6,750. The report was based on data from the Center for Responsive Politics.
Committee Chair Greg Walden (R-OR) reportedly received $27,000 while Ranking Member Frank Pallone (D-NY) got $7,000 in Facebook-related contributions. Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-CA), the Bay Area Democrat whose district is reportedly home to many Facebook executives and employees, got the most contributions, receiving $51,050 in the last decade.
Walden and Pallone announced on Wednesday that Zuckerberg will be testifying before Congress next week on “critical consumer data privacy issues.” ... A Roll Call report also found that two Democrats on the House Energy and Commerce Committee have Facebook investments. Rep. Joe Kennedy (D-MA) reportedly has at least $80,000 invested in Facebook while Rep. Kurt Schrader (D-OR) has at least $15,000.

The remaining 9 will ask, how they can get a piece of that action?
Why isnt Maxine Waters being subpoenaed? She blabbed about the “data base” Obama compiled containing intimate data on all of us that he intends to use in Democrat elections.
Waters knows a lot. She certainly has info WRT Facebook helping Obama compile very specific details about Americans Obama intends to use exclusively for Democrrats.
The NYT reported in 2013: Obama suggested to his supporters: “Why not try sifting through my supporters’ Facebook pages in search of friends who might be on my campaign’s list of the most persuadable voters? Then my campaign could ask the self-identified supporters to bring their undecided friends along.”
The Facebook looting, as the Obamatons saw it, could also
<><> (A) get supporters to urge friends to register to vote,
<><> (B) get them to vote early,
<><> (C) get them to volunteer, and,
<><> (D) get them to donate to him.
(Source: 2013 NYT story about Obama’s reelection campaign).
The double standard is shocking: As the criticism of Trump escalates, you recognize that the ultra-liberal suck-up Zuckerberg uses F/B data as a political tool.
All of the F/B fallout magnifies the confession by a former Obama campaign parasite that they basically took whatever they wanted from Facebook, with Facebook’s blessing.
Say what? With F/B’s blessing? Isn’t this an in-kind campaign contribution. Was it reported to the FEC?
WHAT THEY WANT YOU TO BELIEVE Cambridge Analytica worked for the Trump campaign, and either stole, hacked, or through some other nefarious way mined personal information from 50 million Americans and used it to target ads on Facebook to people likely receptive to them.......activities that were lauded as leading edge stuff when Democrats did it.
WHERE WAS ZUCKERBERG when the Obama campaign used Facebook as a campaign tool?
Buying another used tee shirt?
I’d still like to know if the privacy of non-members has been compromised if a non-member has visited a member’s page...
Let's stroll down memory lane.

ATTENDEES: Obama, Larry Ellison, Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, Eric Schmidt, Reed Hastings.
Now, are these institutions and insiders dipping into the Fakster's database and using the gleaned/repackaged private data for other marketing focused marketing.
Mind Controlees Want To Know.
You suppose the pol’s use FB on their phones? With privacy set high? Yeah, it will be more kabuki theater.
Yep. Traitors and prostitutes. That’s just about the sum total of Congress these days. Most of it, anyways.
This meeting will be like the one with Clinton where she high fived everyone afterward.
