Cruz in Trouble for Facebook
2018-03-20
[Dallas Morning News] Sen. Ted Cruz is under fire for his connections with a voter targeting firm that used data taken from 50 million Facebook users without their knowledge.
But Facebook admits to being in the tank with Obama, but that's not news to the Dallas Morning News.
Cruz continued work with Cambridge Analytica for six months after allegations surfaced in December 2015 that the firm was using Facebook data it had received illicitly. Recent revelations show the data harvesting was far more extensive than previously suspected, and possibly among the biggest privacy breaches in history.

"It was a grossly unethical experiment because you are playing with the psychology of an entire country... in the context of the democratic process," whistleblower Christopher Wylie, a data scientist who worked for Cambridge Analytica, told The Guardian.
Wazzat, Christopher? A psychology experiment?

#1  An interesting illustration of how we cannot escape the consequences of other people's choices. I have nothing to do with farcebook, but it affects my life nonetheless. Though I despise the phrase and the concept, I'm a stakeholder.
