Zuckerburg has changed his tune.
But despite that I don't and won't FB or similar social media. Yes, I know google goes through my email and they know which youtube videos I click. But again I try to use Google only when necessary and turn off my locator on my phone. I still comment in places where my data is not sold but avoid places where it is sold. If and when I can I will stop using google/youtube completely.
And no this is not just about the last election. FB is being used for ethnic cleansing in Myanmar. As with the election Buddhists Burmese are being flooded with propaganda, fake news and hatred/violence which is fueling voilence towards their Muslim minority.
As to what was crime; 1. elections are supposed to fair and free. These obviously were not. People were flooded with fake news and lies from multiple sources creating a world which doesn't even exist.
2. CA and the people involved in it were and are not Americans. Foreign influence is illegal in our elections.
3. As stated in channel 4 news, "if it seems like propaganda people will want to know what the source was." Which is something to that effect the CEO said. Yet in political ads and commercials you do have to show where the funding is from. We don't know who exactly bought this election and what their motivation was or is.
I can think of more but these are just a few unanswered questions I believe anyone would want the answers to.
I also found it interesting that CA discusses blackmailing politicians with Ukrainian prostitutes. Obviously this is going on already. How much in one's own country?
I have also heard that the main reason the GOP is staying silent on these investigations is that up to 44 of its members may have used CA. Perhaps more on that will come out in the near future.
