Funny how it was not a “danger to democracy” when Obama’s people did the exact same thing.

Don’t you remember many leaders demanding something be done about this huge scandal in 2012? Neither do I.

Right before the election the wife and I had dinner at the Perkins. The hostess and the waitress were both....RUSSIANS.

That did it for us. We took off our Illary shirts and voted for Trump.

Oh....NOW we’re all concerned about this. We weren’t concerned one bit 6 years ago when Obama did it.

I say BS. Facebook’s business plan was to offer a “free” service but would make their big bucks on selling ads and information. People signing up signed away all their rights for the free use of the platform.

Do you want an explanation? Well we had a good system going but then the Republicans learned to use it. So now we’re shocked and horrified and going to change everything

Mark Zuckerberg’s response to the German Minister is that Facebook is still in its puberty phase,
much like its owner Zuck.

FaceBook through its front organizations controls more than enough campaign donations to make problems like this to simply go away.

EXACTLY! FB was not designed primarily to serve the interest of it’s members, but to instead exploit their members data/information by selling it to advertisers and other business interests. Sorry FB members, but that IS their business plan.

As y’all may have gathered, I’m NOT a FB member (victim) :)
