Facebook has been unmasked by this scandal.  I hope people are paying attention, but I doubt it.  People are hopelessly hooked on putting their life out there on social media.  They don't care who data mines them.  They want to be a FB star.

I've never been a FB fan.  I have a profile with fake info and limited info.  FB has been filling in the blanks for me over the years with information gleaned from my family and friends.  They just need me to confirm it, which I won't do.

Its long past due to expose social media and how it really works.

Facebook scandal widens:
Obama campaign's Carol Davidsen admits Democrats sucked out "the entire social network of the US", kept the data and still have it.

Facebook makes their money by exploiting and selling intimate details about the private lives of millions, far beyond the scant details you voluntarily post.  They are not victims.  They are accomplices.

Businesses that make money by collecting and selling detailed records of private lives were once plainly described as "surveillance companies."  Their rebranding as "social media" is the most successful deception since the Department of War became the Department of Defense.

Unfortunately all big US Internet companies are in bed with the deep state.  Google, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, etc. are all providing backdoors to your data.  You may have noticed they all favor the Democrats.  Why?  Obama made them feel special for sharing your data.  Privileges!

Things Must Be Serious, Everyone’s Lying

European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker had a moment of clarity once.  He famously said, “When things get serious, you have to lie.”

Does anyone with any shred of self-respect believe that thirteen Russian trolls armed with Tweetium could derail Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign?  Really?

Guys, one thing.

Gathering per user as well as aggregate online social data is a widespread, common practice in e-marketing. EVERYONE does it. Also, the Trump campaign keeps getting mentioned proximate to older abusive data mining practices that they did not even use.

I had to pause the news tonight to explain to my wife that the lamestream is acting like this is a special evil thing that Trump did. In reality it's as common for selling cellphones or toilet paper as it is for political campaigns.

The entire fucking business world markets actively, and they buy whatever data they need in the process.
