Trump Appears To Brag About Using Data Mining Firm Roiled In Scandal
President Donald Trump appeared to boast about his presidential campaign’s social media-cultivating tactics even as Cambridge Analytica, the data mining firm he commissioned, is roiled in controversy.
In a fiery Thursday morning tweet, Trump ― referring to himself in the third person ― countered the argument that Hillary Clinton’s social media strategy was more sophisticated than his during the 2016 election cycle.
“Well, not saying that anymore!” he wrote, seemingly referring to the scandal engulfing Cambridge Analytica and Facebook, the social network from which the firm reportedly obtained its user data. Cambridge Analytica created a technology to better target and influence individuals on Facebook through a personality quiz, allowing it to reportedly collect data on 50 million people.
