The DNC in cahoots with Facebook and Google.
External mining of Facebook profile data VS. in direct cahoots with Facebook's full spectrum data PLUS Google search etc etc etc etc etc etc etc data...
NO comparison.

Okay, what exactly did they do with the externally mined data that is illegal? That even begins to compare to the electioneering activities of the tech giant's the external mining was performed on?

Nah, if you knew anything about me / my body of work you'd know my everlasting beef is with the Tech Giant's (Google in particular but Facebook a close second).
But keep spinning it back into a purely left/right false narrative.
The fact is the "right" just doesnt make me want to burn them to the ground as much as the "left" does, these days, nor do they give me the kind of ammo to do so. The "left" on the other hand, especially you "Team Democrat Talking Points" types, just cant stop rubbing me wrong and giving me the ammo likewise.
Now does that make me "right" or you WRONG?!?

Right on cue from a thread I did this morning.
www.abovetopsecret.com...
Here again we see people shocked at this bombshell, that a right wing source used a very small fraction of facebook data to influence elections.
Nevermind that Facebook itself is in cahoots with the democrats, as even Obama staffers have admitted.
Same old song and dance.
ijr.com...
Just like a few thousand twitter bots is a huge deal that stole an election, but the people that run twitter censoring conservatives and being in the bag for democrats is perfectly ok.
So I assume that all of the people saying this is a big deal are also outraged at Facebook itself exponentially larger datamining efforts that they use to influence elections for democrats and other left wing parties.
I look forward to your calls for ending Facebook doing this, and decrying their censorship of conservative voices!
