CAMBRIDGE ANALYTICA:
Obama's 2008 campaign was famously data-driven, pioneered microtargeting in 2012, talking to people specifically based on the issues they care about.

MICHAEL SIMON:
I ran the Obama 2008 data-driven microtargeting team. How dare you! We didn’t steal private Facebook profile data from voters under false pretenses. OFA voluntarily solicited opinions of hundreds of thousands of voters. We didn’t commit theft to do our groundbreaking work.

2. So, the Russians stole Hillary's, the DNC's and Podesta's e-mails, and then

Cambridge Analytica helped itself to all kinds of personal voter information that was entrusted to Facebook.

Oddly, I didn't post on Facebook and haven't been visiting even family sites there since about November 2017.

There is just something that is for me creepy about the idea of Facebook.

Putting your picture, your birthday, everything personal on a website.

This website gets as much personal information as I trust anyone with on the internet.

Either Facebook changes it ways or I never go on it again.

13. I have always tried to do one of two things.

Lie or be aware.

[Ilsa]

14. I refused to put my birth date in facebook,

and I have it set on private settings.
The only reason I have it is because I have a kid with it that is learning about the need for privacy.

16. The facebook hunt for data on everyone

has always given me the creeps. I am a member, but they don't have any pictures, no birthday, no schools. They do have a few facebook friends of mine and I'm starting to wonder whether I should just stop going there.

18. I never put anything personal on FB either. I can't understand posting vacay pics just so crooks

know when you're not home? I have a FB page, but when I visit it, I only post politics and cute animal videos. I've essentially stopped using it since all of this has come out.

6. 'Advertising is not coercive.'...

These people must think we're stupid lol.
Advertising has ALWAYS BEEN coercive....that's IT'S POINT.

[TNNurse]

7. If advertising is not coercive,

what is the point of advertising????

[reACTIONary]

10. Advertising may be characterized as....

.... persuasive - but coercive? How so?

[Susan Calvin]

11. Depends.

If it is targeted, is it based on data knowingly and voluntarily given?

[bronxiteforever]

8. Kick and recommend!

9. Michael Simon Had the Best Comeback Ever!

CA steals data. The Obama Campaign didn't. The Mercers don't know the difference.

[Susan Calvin]

12. Exactly. nt

15. Is it just me

What don't Republicans try to infiltrate, steal, manipulate or lie about LMFAO

It's even better when caught that they try the snitch route with "ge did it too" without even knowing what he did lol.
Can't wait to purge them out in Nov and 2018

[Takket]

17. There us nothing wring with data driven campaigns

But stealing that data? That is wrong
