That's true, but I understand the Hillary campaign was so ineffective in that endeavor, to the point that no one cares that they did it too. 8>)

However, this appears to me to be a direct attack against FaceBook by the FTC. Also, The Hill was quoting what Bloomberg News had reported, so of course Bloomberg News had put an anti-Trump face on it. The investigation is not about what Cambridge Analytica did, but what FaceBook did. And yes they had done it for Obama too, and they too abused it. But since FaceBook was in the tank for Obama they didn't discuss it publicly.

I say, go FTC, and do what you must. 8>)

The SEC needs to start an insider trading investigation into why Suckerberg sold $500 million in stock just before this news became public.

Facebook colluded with the Russians to elect Trump.

Facebook should be broken up into a million pieces.

Then the zombies can spy at will.
