Didn't Facebook and Zuckerberg already pay a 5 billion $ penalty in part for their help in rat
... fucking 2016 elections? (I just learned about this a few weeks ago.) From what I could figure out is
that Cambridge Analytica (the Mercers) used algorithms to I.D. targeted Facebook users in order to bath
them in Russian produced misinformation (that the Russians got by hacking Hillary & the DNC's computers)
about Hillary, her emails, her email servers, and "the scandals" at the Clinton Foundation. Do I have this
right or am I nuttier than a squirrel turd?
"Facebook, Inc. will pay a record-breaking $5 billion penalty, and submit to new restrictions and a modified corporate structure that will hold the company accountable for the decisions it makes about its users’ privacy, to settle Federal Trade Commission charges that the company violated a 2012 FTC order by deceiving users about their ability to control the privacy of their personal information."

"In addition, the FTC alleges that Facebook took inadequate steps to deal with apps that it knew were violating its platform policies."
"In a related, but separate development, the FTC also announced today separate law enforcement actions against data analytics company Cambridge Analytica, its former Chief Executive Officer Alexander Nix, and Aleksandr Kogan, an app developer who worked with the company, alleging they used false and deceptive tactics to harvest personal information from millions of Facebook users. Kogan and Nix have agreed to a settlement with the FTC that will restrict how they conduct any business in the future."
