There is nothing wrong with this behavior right? No wonder Ivanka and Rebecca Mercer get along. Their families use the same tactics. Google Ivanka’s father-in-law.

“Sitting in a hotel bar, Alexander Nix, who runs the political data firm Cambridge Analytica, had a few ideas for a prospective client looking for help in a foreign election. The firm could send an attractive woman to seduce a rival candidate and secretly videotape the encounter, Mr. Nix said, or send someone posing as a wealthy land developer to pass a bribe.

“We have a long history of working behind the scenes,” Mr. Nix said.

The prospective client, though, was actually a reporter from Channel 4 News in Britain, and the encounter was secretly filmed as part of a monthslong investigation into Cambridge Analytica, the data firm with ties to President Trump’s 2016 campaign.“

Cambridge Analytica CEO Filmed Saying They Used bribes and sex workers to entrap politicians

Senior executives at Cambridge Analytica have been secretly filmed saying they could entrap politicians in compromising situations with bribes and Ukrainian sex workers.

In an undercover investigation by Channel 4 News, the company’s chief executive Alexander Nix said the British firm secretly campaigns in elections across the world. This includes operating through a web of shadowy front companies, or by using sub-contractors.

In one exchange, when asked about digging up material on political opponents, Mr Nix said they could “send some girls around to the candidate’s house”, adding that Ukrainian girls “are very beautiful, I find that works very well”.
Was it the same or similar type of Stormy Porn Star use here for the same reason ?

And Cambridge clearly violated their terms of service, and British law.

The rumors that Facebook knew this for years though, and did nothing is the issue for them.

Ohhhh...its more about how you don't like him, then any connection to reality isn't it?
Facebook didn't pursue the breach of personal data or confirm that the data was deleted even though they knew about it in 2015

"The furor began with a blog post Friday from Facebook deputy general counsel Paul Grewal. The post said that in 2015, Facebook learned of the illicit data transfer and "demanded certifications" that the "information had been destroyed."
Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook under fire from politicians over data controversy - Mar. 18, 2018

Why did it take Facebook 3 years to suspend those who were responsible for it? And when did they plan on letting the Facebook users know that their privacy had been breached?

Did you even watch the UK TV undercover video? Please do. This is not about left or right.

Watch, then let's discuss.

Then why is every article framing this as the “reason” Trump won and Brexit happened ?

It's all illegal, unethical and so on, but you have to hand it to the Republicans. Here was 20th century Hillary putting ads on TV and making phone calls while the Pubs were stealing personal information and pushing tailored lies and misinformation to susceptible voters. Genius!

they can frame however they want

The facts are the facts. CA got caught offering special services on tape. This is a PR nightmare for Facebook and the Mercers.
